The Federal Aviation Administration is making $374 million in grants available for improvements at airports in 46 states and American Samoa
The grants, which will fund 299 airfield, safety and other improvement projects, are the third round issued through the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program.
“The funding we’re announcing today will allow hundreds of airports to make critical improvements that will benefit passengers for years to come,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said.
Projects include construction of new terminal buildings, repairs to runways and taxiways, maintenance of airfield lighting and signage and buying equipment needed to maintain and operate airports.

$15.5 million to Boston Logan International Airport to rehabilitate Taxiway N pavement.
