Wicke Welcomes $19.8 Million Allocation for Mississippi Airports from Infrastructure Package

Statement

U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, R-Miss., ranking member of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, today welcomed the distribution of $19,859,920 to 63 airports across Mississippi for repairs and improvements. The funds are being made available as part of the recently passed bipartisan infrastructure package that Wicker supported.

"Mississippi has been in need of serious investments in our state's infrastructure. I was an early supporter of the bipartisan infrastructure package which is making important investments in our nation's hard infrastructure," Wicker said. "These funds for Mississippi airports are some of the first fruits of that legislation. Targeted investments will help airports all across our state make repairs and improvements that will support travelers and boost our economy for decades to come."
