The funding, provided through the Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP), will increase the airports’ capacities to meet operational needs and safety standards. “Eastern Shore airports play a crucial role in supporting the region’s economy and ensuring people and cargo get where they need to go. We fought for these investments to provide local airports with the infrastructure they need to continue to serve Maryland’s businesses, residents, and visitors safely and efficiently,” said the lawmakers. The federal grants have been awarded as follows: $1,000,000 to Salisbury Regional Airport to extend the airport’s existing runway by an additional 1,200 feet to accommodate aircraft with greater passenger capacity; $150,000 to Easton Airport to extend Runway 22’s safety area to 1,000 feet; and $119,403 to Cambridge-Dorchester Regional Airport to acquire more land for airport operations. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
