Kelly, Sinema Announce Additional $35 Million Investment Coming to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

Bipartisan Infrastructure Law led by Sinema and shaped by Kelly provides an additional $35 million for upgrades to Sky Harbor’s Central Utility Plant

Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema announced that an additional $35,000,000 will be invested in airport terminal upgrades at Phoenix Sky Harbor from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs law led by Sinema and shaped by Kelly.

Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport will receive $35 million through the Airport Terminal Program—a program created by Kelly and Sinema’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to provide grants for airport terminal development projects. This follows a $36 million investment announced in July, which began the effort to modernize the airport’s infrastructure. 

“Our historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver for Arizona communities,” said Kelly. “This investment allows for crucial renovations to Phoenix Sky Harbor, upgrading one of our most important economic drivers and ensuring Arizonans have access to safe and reliable travel.” 

“I’m proud to deliver $35 million from our bipartisan infrastructure law to improve safety, efficiency, and accessibility at Phoenix Sky Harbor – allowing Arizonans to safely travel with ease and peace of mind,” said Sinema. 

Phoenix Sky Harbor will use the $35 million grant to make upgrades to the Central Utility Plant, including the replacement of chillers, condensing water pumps, central plant piping, heat exchangers and cooling towers. 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes a historic $25 billion in additional investments for aviation infrastructure. The bipartisan law provides $15 billion in priority projects at every airport in the United States, $5 billion in competitive grants for terminal development and other landslide projects, and $5 billion in grants for strengthening Air Traffic Control towers and infrastructure. 

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law was supported by groups including The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, The National Association of Manufacturers, The AFL-CIO, The National Retail Federation, The Bipartisan Policy Center, North America’s Building Trades Unions, the Outdoor Industry Association, The American Hotel and Lodging Association, The National Education Association, as well as hundreds of mayors across all 50 states.
