NCDOT Funds Improvements at Two North Carolina Airports
The N.C. Board of Transportation (NCDOT) has approved state funds totaling $432,000 for projects that help improve safety and customer service at two North Carolina airports. The board approved the funds during its April 8 meeting.
The funds the N.C. Board of Transportation approved are:
North Carolina’s 72 public airports serve as vital economic engines connecting people and business enterprises with the world. Airports and aviation-related industries contribute more than $61 billion to North Carolina’s economy each year, according to the 2021 State of Aviation report. They support 373,000 jobs, generate more than $2.5 billion in state and local tax revenue, and provide more than $15 billion in personal income.
The airport funds awarded will be distributed by the NCDOT Division of Aviation, and do not necessarily represent the total cost of a project.
The N.C. Department of Transportation is one of North Carolina’s largest state government agencies, with morethan 14,000 employees. NCDOT works hard to provide high-quality transportation for travelers throughout NorthCarolina, including highways, rail, aviation, ferries, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and public transit.
