Funding to bolster safety and improve connectivity from Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
WISCONSIN – Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) announced airports across Wisconsin will receive over $38 million in federal funding for infrastructure upgrades – including investments in runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, terminal upgrades, airport-transit connections, and roadway projects. The funding for these projects comes from Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Grants (AIG), a program funded by the Baldwin-backed Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
In September, Senator Baldwin announced a similar investment of over $23.5 million in federal funding from the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) awarded to Appleton International, Dane County Regional, and Rhinelander-Oneida County airports, as well as the Wisconsin State Block Grant Program.
