U.S. Transportation Secretary PeteButtigiegis scheduled visit Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock on Wednesday as part of a four-state tour highlighting federally-funded safety improvements at airports.

The two-day trip includes stops in Charlotte, Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Under President Joe Biden's administration, Clinton National Airport has received millions in federal grants, including an $8 million award announced last month that will support construction of a new 70,000-SF utility plant.

In 2021, the airport received $4.9 million tobe invested inrunways, taxiways and safety and sustainability projects.

America has the world's safest and most complex aviation system because of our rigorous standards and the dedicated aviation workforce that ensures millions of people get to their destinations safely every day. But we can never take our safety record for granted as recent close calls have made clear, Buttigieg said in a statement. I look forward to seeing first-hand some of the innovative ways airports are layering in new safety measures, and hearing from the people putting them into action at our nations airports.

The stop in Little Rock is part of Biden's "Investing in America" tour, which will bring the president and other administration officials to more than 20 states in the coming weeks to showcasenew roads and bridges, electric vehicle manufacturing facilities and other projects funded through his economic initiatives.
