## Resource

Norfolk International Airport is set to get nearly $8 million in federal grants to build a new cargo taxilane and upgrade a terminal access road, part of a $32 million package for eight Virginia airports. This funding, from the FAA’s Airport Infrastructure Grant program under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, aims to boost safety, capacity, and traveler experience. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, key architects of the law, highlight how it’s fueling Virginia’s economy and transportation network, with over $173 million already secured for state airports since 2022—showing a clear commitment to modernizing air travel for the future.
