Dear john,
Today, I announced $20,000,000 in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds for the construction of a Ground Load Facility at San Antonio International Airport to improve airport operations and capacity. This investment help expand the airport’s Terminal A to include five new gates with terminal seating and other passenger facilities for domestic and international operations. The funding will also support a Federal Inspection Station for international arrivals.
Improved infrastructure is critical to our community’s growth. I helped pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to revamp our roads, bridges, and airports in South Texas. We’re seeing that here today.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a bipartisan law, will provide approximately $1.2 billion in infrastructure funding for Texas airports over the next five years. Following the bill’s passage in November of 2021, I, along with Congressman Joaquin Castro and Congressman Lloyd Doggett, sent a letter to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg advocating for the City of San Antonio’s request for funds to support the Ground Load Facility and other projects.
