Hoeven: Nearly $3 Million Awarded to Fargo & Northwood Airports for Terminal Expansions

WASHINGTON – Senator John Hoeven, a member of the Senate Transportation Appropriations Committee, today announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is awarding Hector International Airport and Northwood Municipal Airport-Vince Field nearly $3 million for terminal expansion projects.

Specifically, these grants include:

  • $2,000,000 to Hector International Airport to construct four new gates, rehabilitate and expand holding rooms, and expand the ticket and baggage handling area. Senator Hoeven is working to fulfill the project’s federal cost share, now having secured nearly $36 million for the effort to date.
  • $950,000 to Northwood Municipal Airport-Vince Field for a new 650-square-foot general aviation terminal building to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

“The Fargo-Moorhead and Northwood regions are rapidly growing, both in terms of population and in economic activity. That means greater demand for air service and the need for updates and added facilities at Hector International and Northwood Airports,” said Hoeven. “This FAA funding supports both terminal expansion projects that will help to ensure North Dakotans are able to fly efficiently and safely throughout our state and country.” 

In August of this year Senator Hoeven led the North Dakota delegation in sending a letter to the Department of Transportation requesting support from the Airport Terminals Program for Fargo’s terminal expansion project. Full text of the letter can be found here.
