U.S Congressman Henry Cuellar announced today a $75,000 grant for the McAllen Miller International Airport. The money, which comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Aviation Administration, will be used to update the airport’s master plan.

The City of McAllen will oversee the grant, which will specifically be used to conduct an environmental assessment for future growth and expansion of the terminal.

“I applaud the efforts of City of McAllen Mayor Richard Cortez and City Manager Mike Perez for working hard to secure this grant,” said Congressman Henry Cuellar. “I also congratulate McAllen Miller International Airport Director Phil Brown and his staff for always looking for ways to improve the quality of service it provides its passengers.”

The McAllen Miller International Airport serves almost one million passengers yearly.
