Fresno, California, is set to witness a significant upgrade in its airport infrastructure, as Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FYI) has been selected to receive funding for a runway reconstruction project. This announcement was made by Senators Dianne Feinstein, Alex Padilla, and Adam Schiff.

The runway reconstruction project at FYI is one of the many projects across multiple airports in California that will receive funding. The funding, totalling $168 million, is a part of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) initiative to invest in airport infrastructure.

FYI plans to reconstruct over 9,500 feet of an existing paved runway, with the grant funding a portion of phase one of the project. The airport is allocated more than $12 million for repairs and improvements, making it one of the 46 airports across California to benefit from this funding.

The funding for the runway reconstruction project at FYI is not specified as a loan, but rather as a reward or grant. This funding aims to invest in infrastructure projects, including runways, signage, and airport lighting.

KFSN reported the news, stating that the runway reconstruction project at FYI is a significant part of the overall $168 million in funding distributed to California airports for infrastructure projects. The source of the information underscores the credibility of the announcement.
