“I am pleased that Reno-Tahoe International Airport will be able to make further improvements to its facility,” said Reid. “The airport is a key driver for the economy in Northern Nevada, and this grant will give it a chance prepare for a successful future by improving safety for the millions of travelers that come through its gates.”

The airport, which generates $2 billion for the local economy, was recently awarded another grant for $3,530,625 to replace the pavement in an aircraft parking area that includes four airline gates on two separate concourses.
