Congressman Carter Highlights $8 Million for Louis Armstrong Airport

NEW ORLEANS, L.A. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) announced that the Federal Aviation Administration will award New Orleans $8,000,000 for airport terminal development projects. This funding was made possible through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which Congressman Carter supported.

Specifically, this money will be used for site preparation work and the construction of a road between the North Terminal and South Campus parking and rental car facilities. This project will enhance safety, reduce carbon emissions from idling, and connect the terminal to transit and passenger rail.

“I am proud to share that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is bringing home $8 million to improve our airport terminal at Louis Armstrong Airport,” said Rep. Carter. “This is just one of the many tangible benefits of this bill in Louisiana and I was proud to support it.”
