Congresswoman Miller Announces $9.3 Million for West Virginia Airports
WASHINGTON D.C. – Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) today announced a grant of $9,398,776 from the Department of Transportation to airports in West Virginia.

This is part of a $10 billion allocation of funds from the CARES Act to airports nationwide. Full details are below.
"Our airports play a critical role in ensuring goods and services arrive at their destination on time, especially during a crisis," said Congresswoman Miller. "I am so happy to see this significant funding come home to provide West Virginia with the resources needed to combat this virus quickly and effectively."
"This $10 billion in emergency resources will help fund the continued operations of our nation's airports during this crisis and save workers' jobs," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
"Thank you to the dedicated men and women from the FAA's Office of Airports for creating an entirely new program in record time to assist airport sponsors in desperate need of these funds," said Federal Aviation Administrator Steve Dickson.
