WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced Aug. 12 that the department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) is awarding a $2M grant to the Lafayette (La.) Airport Commission to help construct and rehabilitate parking facilities at the Lafayette Regional Airport. The grant is to be matched with $3.38M of local investments, and expected to create 82 jobs. “Revitalizing America’s infrastructure is a critical priority for the Trump Administration,” said Ross. “As Lafayette Regional Airport builds its new passenger terminal, the Department of Commerce applauds the local leadership that will help make the project a success.”
The awards are "another hard-fought investment for the new terminal project at Lafayette Regional,” said U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins. Funding will support the rehabilitation and construction of parking lots needed to serve the airport’s new passenger terminal building. This project was made possible by the regional planning efforts led by the Acadiana Planning Commission. (Source: Department of Commerce 08/12/19)
