"Chuy" García | G000586 | chuygarcia.house.gov | chuygarcia | https://chuygarcia.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | CHICAGO — Congressman Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04), a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, announced today that Chicago’s Midway International Airport (MDW), located in his Congressional District, will receive $5,475,808 in federal grant funding for improvements and reconstruction of paved taxiways and pavements. The grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration as part of the Airport Improvement Program which funds airport infrastructure projects such as runways, taxiways, airport signage, airport lighting, and airport markings. “Midway Airport is a major domestic travel hub for the Midwest and a source of employment for constituents in my district,” said Congressman García. “The funds from this grant will allow it to continue serving travelers safely and efficiently so it can continue to be an attractive option for people traveling to and from Chicago. I am proud to have worked to secure it.” # # # | 1 | 2026-09-17T09:52:05Z | 2026-09-17T09:53:00Z |
