A bipartisan infrastructure law will invest almost $37 million in Arizona airport terminal upgrades.

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport will receive the money and Yuma International Airport will get $950,000 through the Airport Terminal Program – a program the Senator Kyrsten Sinema and Senator Mark Kelly-led bipartisan infrastructure law created to provide grants for airport terminal development projects.

Sky Harbor will use the $36,950,000 grant to replace equipment used for cooling Terminal 4's main building, eight concourses and connector bridges, among other crucial modernization projects.

Yuma International will use the $950,000 grant to strengthen security by upgrading and replacing security cameras, access readers, fiber optics, data switches, and hardware at high security requirement locations to enhance security and aid in detecting potential threats against people, property, and aircraft.

The law includes an historic $25 billion in additional investments for aviation infrastructure. The bipartisan law provides $15 billion in priority projects at every airport in the U.S., $5 billion in competitive grants for terminal development and other landslide projects, and $5 billion in grants for strengthening Air Traffic Control towers and infrastructure.

The bipartisan infrastructure law was supported by groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, the National Association of Manufacturers, the AFL-CIO, National Retail Federation, Bipartisan Policy Center, North America’s Building Trades Unions, the Outdoor Industry Association, American Hotel and Lodging Association, National Education Association, plus hundreds of mayors across all 50 states.
