(February 15, 2024) – Today, Congressman Morgan McGarvey (KY-03) announced the Department of Transportation will award $13 million to Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) to upgrade the airport’s infrastructure, including improving the power system’s sustainability and adding four new screening lanes to the security checkpoint. “I fly in and out of our airport almost every week. Not only have I heard from many constituents that we need more security lanes, I’ve seen it myself, with lines often spilling out beyond the security area. That's why I’m excited the Department of Transportation is providing $13 million to help people move through our airport safely and easily,” said Rep. McGarvey. “As bourbonism expands and Louisville becomes a more popular destination, we need to make sure our security lanes can handle the record passengers traveling through our airport. These much-needed investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, passed by President Biden and Congressional Democrats, will increase screening capacity at the TSA checkpoint in our airport. I’m proud to have secured over $500 million in federal funding, including this grant, for Louisville during my first term in Congress, and I’ll continue working to bring even more federal dollars back home.” The Department of Transportation has awarded $5,500,000 to improve SDF’s power system sustainability and efficiency and $7,500,000 to add four screening lanes to the TSA security checkpoint. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z |
