Boyle (D-PA-02), along with U.S. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and John Fetterman (D-PA), U.S. Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA-5), Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA-3), and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker announced that Philadelphia International Airport is receiving $27,500,000 in new federal infrastructure funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). This funding comes from the Airport Terminal Program (ATP), which was created by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to revitalize the Nation\u2019s aging airports.\n\n\"The IIJA funding award, which I supported, is more than just an investment in infrastructure\", said Congressman Boyle. \"It strengthens one of our region's key economic drivers. By improving the efficiency of the internal infrastructures of the airport facility, we create smoother operations, draw more visitors, and deliver a top-tier experience for global travelers. This funding reaffirms my dedication to keeping Philadelphia International Airport a vital hub, fueling growth and prosperity for our community and beyond.\"\n\n\u201cPhiladelphia International Airport serves as a vital transportation and economic gateway to the rest of the Commonwealth and the world,\u201d said Senator Casey. \u201cThis investment from the infrastructure law will help modernize the airport by upgrading HVAC and electrical systems in Terminals D and E. I will always fight for investments that boost Southeastern Pennsylvania\u2019s economy and keep the region moving.\u201d\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s investments like this that help keep Philadelphia a world-class city with world-class infrastructure. This $27.5 million for terminal energy upgrades guarantees that the commonwealth\u2019s largest airport stays efficient, resilient, and ready for the future. That\u2019s how we keep Philly competitive and connected,\u201d said Senator Fetterman.\n\n\u201cI\u2019m pleased to see another $27.5 million in federal funding that I voted for coming to Philadelphia! The airport has also received other federal funding for improvements through the Biden-Harris administration\u2019s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and this will all benefit people traveling from and to our area, along with our local economy,\u201d said Congressman Evans.\n\n\u201cI'm proud to see PHL earning the competitive grants we authorized in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, bringing good jobs to our region as PHL upgrades its terminals.\u201d said Congresswoman Scanlon. \u201cModernizing our region\u2019s airport infrastructure will improve air travel for passengers and position our local economy for success in an increasingly competitive global economy.\u201d\n\n\"It is tremendous news that our Philadelphia International Airport will be receiving $27.5 million from the Federal Aviation Administration to help with important HVAC and energy efficiency projects,\" said Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. \"Every single federal grant or funding allocation coming into Philadelphia is because of the hard work of all our federal partners, including Senator Casey and every member of our delegation, along with the support of the Biden-Harris administration. It's another step forward for Philadelphia, and we are profoundly grateful.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://boyle.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/boyle-casey-fetterman-evans-scanlon-and-parker-announce-275-million"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3026838898658752, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
