Representative Salud Carbajal announced over $3 million in federal funding to upgrade infrastructure at two San Luis Obispo County airports.
The San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport will receive $2.7 million to construct a new 315-foot taxiway, while Oceano Airport will get $313,500 to reseal its runway.
Rep. Carbajal, a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, emphasized the importance of modernizing local airports to support tourism, emergency response, and economic growth.
“SLO’s regional airports are critical for the Central Coast’s tourism sector, emergency response capabilities, pilot training, and other vital activities," Carbajal said.
The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s Airport Infrastructure Grant program.
