WALLA WALLA – The Walla Walla Regional Airport will receive more than $1.2 million in relief funding from the American Rescue plan, according to an announcement made Tuesday by U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA). The award is being distributed by the Federal Aviation Administration as part of more than $3 million in relief funding for 18 Washington state airports. The Yakima Air Terminal will receive the largest grant of more than $1.3 million.
“As airports of all sizes in our state continue working to recover from the devastating effects of this past year’s public health crisis, it is critical they get the help they need to safely keep workers on payroll, passengers on planes, and goods moving through the skies,” Murray said.
