With 236 public airports in the state, this funding will not only upgrade terminals, renovate runways, and create new passenger amenities, it will also create jobs, jobs, and more jobs!
“President Biden and Michigan Democrats are at the forefront of ensuring communities have the infrastructure in place for folks to travel safely and efficiently,” said Michigan Democratic Party spokesperson Alyssa Bradley. “This funding is not only critical for modernizing and improving Michigan airports, but will also create thousands of new jobs that will be a game changer for the Great Lakes State as we dive into the new year.”
