DOT Issues Remaining Funds
For Airports Damaged by Hurricanes
U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta announced today that the U.S.
Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will fund
repairs at 12 additional airports damaged by hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan,
and Jeanne. These airports will receive a portion of the remaining $4.5 million
from emergency legislation that provided a total of $25 million to help pay for
hurricane damage to airports.
“Our nation’s airports are critical to our economy and our quality of life,”
said Secretary Mineta. “These funds will help reduce the time it takes to bring
these airports back to their normal operations.”
The remaining $4.5 million will be distributed to airports in Alabama, Florida
and Puerto Rico. The funds will pay for projects such as repair or replacement
of terminal buildings, hangars and security lighting. In October, the FAA
provided $20.5 million to 71 hurricane-damaged airports in Alabama, Florida,
Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Puerto
Rico.
“These funds will greatly reduce the impact of the storms to the traveling
public and complete our commitment to help airports affected by the hurricanes,”
said FAA Administrator Marion C. Blakey.
