OMA, which serve’s Nebraska’s largest city, is receiving the money via the Airport Terminal Grants Program that was included in the infrastructure law.

“Nebraska travelers and visitors will benefit from this good news with increased capacity, improved throughput and an enhanced customer experience for decades to come,” OMA CEO Dave Roth said in a statement.

According to the FAA, “this project rehabilitates the existing terminal building to construct a canopy and widen the terminal entrance road.”
