SAN JOSE — San Jose Mineta International Airport has landed a key round of funding to bolster construction projects for a new terminal and runway — despite the aviation hub’s struggles to banish its post-coronavirus maladies.
Two federal grants totaling approximately $18.1 million have been awarded to the airport, Bay Area House of Representatives members Ro Khanna, Zoe Lofgren, Anna Eshoo and Jimmy Panetta jointly announced Friday.
“San Jose Mineta International Airport not only serves 4 million people in the South Bay but also connects our thriving local economy with the rest of the state and the country,” the four Democratic House representatives stated in a joint comment.
The Federal Aviation Commission, an organization within the U.S. Transportation Department, provided the funding.
