Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff today announced new bipartisan infrastructure law resources to upgrade Georgia’s airports.
Today, Sens. Ossoff and Rev. Warnock announced more than $13 million in Federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure law to upgrade and help maintain Georgia’s regional airports.
The Federal funding will support a broad range of development and infrastructure projects across the state to help ensure Georgia’s airports have the resources they need to support local businesses and communities.
“Georgia’s airports are a key driver of job creation and economic competitiveness. Alongside Senator Reverend Warnock, we are pleased to announce this funding through the bipartisan infrastructure law for airport upgrades across the State of Georgia. Our bipartisan infrastructure law will continue to deliver long-overdue upgrades to Georgia’s infrastructure for years to come,” Sen. Ossoff said.
“This investment in Georgia’s aviation infrastructure is critical to our state and its economy,” said Senator Reverend Warnock. “I was proud to help pass a bipartisan infrastructure law that centers the people, and this new funding is a testament to the good we can accomplish when we reach across the aisle. I will continue to do all I can to strengthen Georgia’s aviation economy.”
