All funding comes directly from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), which Senator Tillis helped negotiate, write, and pass into law. “This funding will be used to continue the much-needed expansion at AVL to accommodate more passengers coming to Western North Carolina,” said Senator Tillis. “I am proud to have helped author and pass the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which made this project and other critical infrastructure projects like it possible.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z |
