Harry Reid International Airport will receive nearly $9 million in Federal Aviation Administration grants that will be used to reconstruct perimeter gates and to develop an environmental impact statement for a new airport south of Las Vegas.
Approval of the funding was announced Tuesday by Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.
“Harry Reid International Airport plays a crucial role in our tourism economy, serving as a gateway to Las Vegas,” Rosen said in a statement. “I’m proud to announce $8 million in federal funding is going to Harry Reid International to renovate gates and help upgrade our airport. I’ll keep working across party lines to ensure our travel and tourism industry has the resources it needs to support good-paying jobs in Nevada.
