Frederick Airport Receives Federal Funds For Tower

U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Angela Alsobrooks and Congresswoman April McClain Delaney (all D-Md.) announced $240,000 in federal funding for infrastructure upgrades at Frederick Municipal Airport’s air traffic control tower. The investment will fund the rehabilitation of the tower’s HVAC system. This funding is in addition to $1.6 million in federal support that the lawmakers have secured for other infrastructure projects at Frederick Municipal Airport, which serves as a reliever airport for Baltimore Washington International Airport and supports local business and a range of community-related operations, including emergency medical needs. This investment is provided through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Contract Tower Competitive Grant Program, which was created and funded at $100 million over five years through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed by Congress in 2021.
