The grant funds the grading and drainage of the project. "This funding will ensure that RDU not only meets national standards but also continues to provide an exceptional experience for passengers,” said Senator Tillis. “As the Triangle region continues to grow, it is vital that we invest in our public transportation and infrastructure, including our airports. I am proud to have worked alongside local leaders to secure this critical funding." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
