Airport Terminal Grant Approaches Final Year with Successful Expansion Efforts

The San Antonio City Council held a special session on September 2, 2025, focusing on key developments regarding the airport terminal grant and its implications for future expansions.

During the meeting, officials discussed the airport terminal grant, which is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). This grant is entering its final year in fiscal year 2026. City representatives noted that the airport has successfully secured funding in every round of grants since the program's inception, with one more round pending. However, the continuation of this funding is contingent upon Congress reauthorizing the grant.

The discussion highlighted the positive impact of the grant on the airport's expansion efforts, which are seen as beneficial for the city's growth and connectivity. The council expressed optimism about the ongoing developments and the potential for further improvements at the airport.

As the meeting concluded, the significance of the airport's expansion and the need for continued federal support were underscored, marking a critical point for San Antonio's infrastructure planning.
