Hollywood Burbank Airport has received a $2.8 million infrastructure from the Trump administration.
More than $1.2 billion in airport safety and infrastructure grants through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) were awarded to 405 airports in 50 states and six U.S. territories.
The funds will be used for taxiway and apron improvements.
The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority Commission has owned and operated the airport under a joint powers agreement between the three cities since 1977.
Currently, former PCC Trustee Ross Selvidge and City Councilmembers Steve Madison and John Kennedy represent Pasadena on the commission.
“This $1.2 billion federal investment will improve our nation’s airport infrastructure, enhance safety, and strengthen growth in local communities, which is especially important as the economy recovers from COVID-19,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao.
The authority, a separate government agency created under a joint powers agreement between Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena in 1977, includes three commission members from each of the three cities who oversee operations at the airport. The majority of the members are sitting councilmembers in their respective cities.
From 1978 to 2003, the airport was named the Burbank–Glendale–Pasadena Airport. In 2017 it was renamed the Hollywood Burbank Airport.
