WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded an additional $882,280 grant to Dickinson- Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport to expand the airport apron by 9,732 square yards to meet increasing demand. Earlier this week, Hoeven announced two additional grants for Dickinson Airport. The airport received $976,220 to help expand the apron and another $84,689 to extend the runway safety area. In total, Dickinson Airport has received more than $1.9 million in grant funding this week.

“This new grant for Dickinson’s Theodore Roosevelt Regional is another important step in our ongoing effort to improve our state’s infrastructure in ways that will benefit our communities and businesses as we continue to grow our state’s economy and meet the needs of our residents,” said Hoeven.

Hoeven serves as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, where he works to support DOT programs that invest in infrastructure and other services to meet the needs of North Dakota’s growing population and commerce.
