"With the construction of new runways and taxiways, larger terminals and new equipment among other renovations, travelers in Michigan will enjoy more efficient service in our airports," Levin said today. "This funding will enable Michigan airports to modernize their facilities to make use of the latest technologies and expand their facilities to more adequately handle the millions of passengers who travel through our airports every year."

The grant awards combine entitlement funding, which airports receive from the Federal Aviation Administration annually, and discretionary funds, which are determined by a competitive selection process among airports which have applied for funding for specific renovations and improvements.
