BWI, Martin State among airports receiving federal funds from $970M grant program

The Biden administration said Thursday it is providing $970 million for improvements at 114 airports around the country — including two in Maryland — with work ranging from wider concourses and new baggage-handling systems to new terminals at some small airfields. Administration officials said the money comes from a $5 billion grant program to modernize airport terminals. Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is slated to receive over $14.5 million to replace up to 14 passenger boarding bridges.
