Montgomery Regional Airport was awarded $5 million alongside Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport for a total of $10 million to improve their infrastructure.
“I’m excited to welcome $10 million in federal funding to make improvements to the Birmingham and Montgomery airports!” said Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) “Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is once again delivering results for Alabama’s 7th Congressional District by investing in airport facilities that will enhance travel for those who visit and live in our communities.”
Funding came from the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) program, which was made possible by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“Thank you to the FAA for recognizing the importance of this project to improve the passenger experience at Montgomery,” said Robert H. Gould, Montgomery Airport Authority Chairman.
The funding will be used to replace the inbound baggage system and the escalator at the Montgomery Regional Airport.
“I would like to express my gratitude to our entire federal delegation, including Congresswoman Sewell, the FAA, and the MGM Board for their unwavering efforts in supporting Alabama’s air travel requirements,” said Wade A. Davis, CM, Executive Director of MGM. “This project will enhance capacity and provide significant benefits to regional air travelers for many years to come.”
