Issues: Transportation Federal, State and Local Relations

Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, today announced $887,000 in federal funding for the Skagit Regional Airport. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) investment will fund safety upgrades for the airport's runway.

"We cannot have a big league economy with little league infrastructure," Larsen said. "As a hub for business and general aviation, Skagit Regional Airport is a key to economic growth in Skagit County. As the top Democrat on the House Aviation Subcommittee, I am fighting for robust transportation funding so we can continue investing in projects like this one that contribute to a strong economy. Smart investments in our transportation infrastructure create jobs and improve safety for pilots, passengers and nearby communities."
