The U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday announced it is awarding infrastructure grants for the Deer Park Airport and Pappy Boyington Field in Hayden, Idaho.

The grants are part of a $1.2 billion in airport safety and infrastructure grants through the Federal Aviation Administration. As part of that funding, Deer Park Airport will receive $1.17 million to build an apron and taxi lane, and the regional airport in Hayden will get $588,694 to build perimeter fencing.

As part of the same grant process, about $6 million will be used at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to reduce noise for surrounding residences. 

“This $1.2 billion federal investment will improve our nation’s airport infrastructure, enhance safety, and strengthen growth in local communities, which is especially important as the economy recovers from COVID-19,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao said in a news release.
