Congressman Mike Simpson pushes for federal funding for Idaho Falls airport expansion
With local officials saying the city is outgrowing its airport terminal, U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson is pushing for $12 million in federal funding to help pay for a terminal expansion at the Idaho Falls Regional Airport.
In an announcement issued Monday, Simpson said he requested $12 million through Community Project Funding in the Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing, Urban Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act.
'As Idaho Falls continues to grow, it is essential that the airport grows with it,' Simpson said in a written statement issued Monday.
