The grants announced Thursday are the first installment of $5 billion for airport projects that were included in an infrastructure bill that Congress approved and President Joe Biden signed last November. The largest grants include $60 million to improve the terminal and replace the bag-handling system at Denver International Airport, $50 million apiece for Boston’s Logan Airport and Orlando International Airport in Florida, $49.6 million for Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., to build a new concourse, and $20 million for Pittsburgh International Airport to build a new terminal next to the old one. An average of 2.33 million passengers passed through security checkpoints at domestic airports during the seven days ending July 1.
