Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Committee, today announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded $600,000 to the State of North Dakota. This grant will support efforts to reevaluate air transportation needs in North Dakota and update the existing study of airport systems throughout the state as needed.
"Access to air transportation plays a key role in North Dakota's economy, and this funding from the FAA will ensure those needs continue to be met," said Hoeven.
