| http://cohen.house.gov/press-release/cohen-announces-10-million-memphis-international-airport | Cohen Announces $10 Million for Memphis International Airport | 2013-09-06 | 2013 | 2013-09 | Democrat | House | TN | Steve Cohen | C001068 | cohen.house.gov | legacy | [MEMPHIS, TN] – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09) announced today that Memphis International Airport will receive $10 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for improvements. This funding will support the third phase of the Memphis airport’s passenger terminal apron reconstruction. “The Memphis airport is a critically important transportation link in the Mid-South region,” said Congressman Cohen. “This funding will help ensure our airport can continue serving travelers safely and efficiently for many years to come.” Memphis International Airport is a world-class facility that today serves more than 6 million passengers a year. Dedicated in 1929 as the Memphis Municipal Airport with just two major carriers, the airport now hosts several national carriers as well as the FedEx “Super Hub.” Memphis International has grown into the busiest cargo airport in the country, and is the second-busiest in the world —behind only Hong Kong. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
