WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) announced today that the Department of Transportation (DOT) awarded a $5.4 million grant for the construction of a new terminal building at the Lafayette Regional Airport.

Since Sen. Kennedy took office in 2017, the DOT has awarded more than $50 million in grants for projects at the Lafayette Regional Airport.

“The number of people flying in and out of Lafayette is increasing every day.  This grant will equip the airport to meet the growing demand for air travel in Acadiana,” said Sen. Kennedy.
