News from the office of Senator Tester 

BIG SANDY – U.S. Senator Jon Tester announced on July 7 that he secured more than $11 million for the construction of a new terminal at Missoula Montana Airport. This funding will come from his bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and will finance phase two of the terminal replacement. The new terminal will be larger, more energy-efficient, and compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 

“With more and more people flying in and out of Missoula every day, this new terminal will have a big impact on both the travel experience and our local economy, said Tester. “Projects like this state-of-the-art upgrade for Missoula’s airport are at the heart of our bipartisan infrastructure law—making targeted investments that create local jobs and grow our economy well into the future.”

Tester secured approximately $144 million for 69 Montana airports through his bipartisan infrastructure law, which will be awarded over five years through the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Grants, which can be used to construct or repair runways and taxiways as well as make terminal and gate improvements.
