Jeff Bingaman United States Senator from New Mexico

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today announced that the Albuquerque International Sunport has been awarded a $685,243 grant to help complete rehabilitation of the airport’s apron.

The funding comes from the Department of Transportation, which earlier this year awarded the Sunport $8.7 million to begin the apron project.

“As New Mexico’s main airport, the Sunport is vital to the state’s economy and I am pleased the federal government is helping with important upgrades at the airport,” Bingaman said.
