Georgia Airports Get $13M Federal Boost Towards Facility Improvements

In a big win for air travel, U.S. Senators announced $13 million for Georgia's airports. Augusta Regional Airport received $987,701.

The money comes from a nationwide effort to upgrade air facilities. Within the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), airports will get essential repairs and new improvements to expand travel options.

This investment could create jobs and increase flight options in local areas. Several locations across the region will receive needed system upgrades and expanded services.

With this grant money, airports can tackle important projects. The funding covers everything from runway fixes to terminal upgrades and safety equipment.

As part of the plan to improve U.S. aviation, CSRA airports will be better equipped to handle more passengers. Better facilities might bring in more airlines, giving locals more places to fly.
