Congressman: Resources will allow airport  to continue to grow and thrive     

Washington, D.C. - Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today announced that the Cedar Rapids Airport Commission has been awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The grant will give the Eastern Iowa Airport $6,051,490 to expand and improve their terminal.  

"The Eastern Iowa Airport is a growing part of the Cedar Rapids economy and an essential part of the eastern Iowa community," Braley said. "These resources will ensure that the airport can continue to serve consumers and businesses all over the region."  

The grant will fund the first of four phases to renovate the main terminal lobby in the ticketing, waiting and baggage claim areas to improve passenger circulation and operation. More information can be found at the U.S. Department of Transportation.
