Senator Thom Tillis announced a $10 million grant from the Department of Transportation (DOT) to shift an existing runway at Raleigh-Durham International (RDU) Airport by 523 feet. The project aims to bring the airport into conformity with current standards and includes grading and drainage work.

"This funding will ensure that RDU not only meets national standards but also continues to provide an exceptional experience for passengers," said Senator Tillis. "As the Triangle region continues to grow, it is vital that we invest in our public transportation and infrastructure, including our airports. I am proud to have worked alongside local leaders to secure this critical funding."
