Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) today announced the U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded $16,710,850 to Memphis International Airport for terminal and taxiway improvements, overall upgrades, and snow removal equipment for next winter.
"As the economic engine of the Mid-South, it is crucial that Memphis International continues to make upgrades to maintain its status as the world's premier cargo airport," said Congressman Cohen. "These new federal funds will provide the airport with the necessary tools to make significant upgrades throughout the facility."
Last week, Congressman Cohen announced the Airport was receiving an additional $6,037,098 for similar upgrades.
