Pitt-Greenville Airport Terminal Project Paid For By ARRA
The FAA on Friday announced the completion of the expansion and
renovation of the passenger terminal at the Pitt-Greenville Airport
in Greenville, N.C., which was paid for with $7.9 million from the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"Investing in projects like this is critically important to
helping us compete in the global economy," said U.S. Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood. "These improvements at Pitt-Greenville
Airport will result in business and employment opportunities in
North Carolina that will strengthen America's future economic
competitiveness."
The Pitt-Greenville Airport terminal was expanded to a two-story
structure that meets current floodplain standards. The airport was
severely flooded during Hurricane Floyd in 1999. Improvements
include a departure waiting area for passengers, two additional
gates and a security checkpoint. "Recovery Act dollars have given
FAA an additional tool to maintain and improve airport
infrastructure across the country," said FAA Administrator Randy
Babbitt.
Under the Recovery Act, more than $1.3 billion have been made
available nationwide for both airport improvement projects and air
traffic control facility and system upgrades. Because of low
construction bids for projects, more Recovery Act dollars were
available for additional facilities, equipment and airport
projects. These grants have been distributed to airports that serve
commercial passengers, cargo and general aviation flights.
