Now Arriving: A New Taxiway at Reno/Tahoe International Airport

In a continuing effort to improve security and services for Nevada's airports, Senators Harry Reid and John Ensign announced today that they have secured nearly $11 million in funding for the Reno/Tahoe International Airport.

"Tourism is an integral part of Nevada's economy," said Reid. "This grant will improve air travel for both residents and visitors. It is critical our airports continue to receive important funding like this. I will continue to work to enhance security and services for travelers flying in and out of the Reno area. "

"This funding is essential to helping the Reno Airport accommodate the growth of Reno, Sparks and other local communities," said Ensign. "These necessary infrastructure improvements to the Reno Airport will help continue the economic success in the surrounding region." Improvements to the Reno/Tahoe International Airport will include: the construction of a taxiway, upgrades to the runway safety area, general security enhancements to the airport, including the installation of an access control system, and the implementation of noise mitigation measures for nearby residents.
