Des Moines airport to expand parking with federal relief money

['Jared Strong', 'More From Author', '- June']

Date: 2022-06


Iowa’s eight commercial airports have been awarded a total of $100 million for projects that will expand parking, update or create new terminals and build new hangars, the Iowa Department of Transportation said Thursday.

Those grants are being distributed from the Iowa Commercial Aviation Infrastructure Fund. The fund was established earlier this year by Gov. Kim Reynolds with one-time funding from the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, a COVID-19 stimulus package approved by Democrats in Congress last year.

More than half of that money — about $58.8 million — will go to the Des Moines International Airport to build a five-story parking garage and a multi-lane driveway, and to help design a new terminal project.

The Eastern Iowa Airport of Cedar Rapids will get about $28.4 million to complete its final phase of terminal upgrades that have been ongoing for about eight years.
