Robins AFB, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is delivering Federal funding to upgrade Robins Air Force Base.
Sen. Ossoff, the top Democrat on the U.S. Senate Appropriations Military Construction and VA Subcommittee, is delivering nearly $50 million in Federal funding to upgrade infrastructure at Robins Air Force Base.
Sen. Ossoff and his team worked to help ensure Robins AFB got the funding needed for these upgrades, which include repairs to HVAC and fire alarm systems, lighting upgrades, a new decontamination area, sewer system improvements, and new office spaces.
Sen. Ossoff serves as the top Democrat on the Military Construction and VA Appropriations Subcommittee, positioning him to fight for and deliver Federal funding for key Georgia projects impacting national security, military readiness, quality-of-life for servicemembers and military families, and more.
“The team protecting our nation at Robins Air Force Base needs continued support for their heroic efforts. I helped bring Republicans and Democrats together to fund these important projects to help our servicemembers and civilian personnel serving at Robins do their jobs and be safe,”Sen. Ossoff said.
Funding for the projects came through U.S. Air Force’s budget for operations and maintenance projects and the Air Force’s Working Capital Funds, both of which received additional funding in this year’s bipartisan government funding package that became law on February 3, 2026.
