New funds could speed expansion at Redmond Airport

Nov-17-2021

The signing of the massive infrastructure bill on Monday by President Joe Biden could help speed up expansion of the Redmond Airport terminal.

Plans to double the size of the terminal that were expected to take 10 to 15 years can now potentially be completed in half that time due to the availability of funds from Biden’s bill, said Zachary Bass, the airport’s director.

The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill includes billions of dollars to upgrade America’s transportation network, including roads, bridges and airports. Central Oregon, the state’s fastest-growing region in both population and the economy, is expected to receive millions of dollars to fund projects.
