Three Maryland lawmakers announced $9.94 million in federal funds for the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Airport through the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration.

Cardin called BWI a huge asset to the state, and the nation, saying that much of the region's commerce is dependent on the airport's operation…. Rep. Sarbanes also said the investment will ensure that the airport remains a Maryland economic hub.
