Another multi-million dollar makeover is entering the runway at Long Beach Airport.

On Friday, Rep. Robert Garcia announced a $37 million overhaul of the airport’s concourses and 11 gateways — $24 million of which will be covered by a federal transportation grant.

“As the former Mayor of Long Beach, I know firsthand how important our airport is to our community and our local economy,” Garcia said in a statement. “This funding not only upgrades our airport to make it more sustainable and efficient, but it will also create a safer, smoother experience for anyone flying through Long Beach Airport, which has already been recognized as the second-best airport in the country.”

Remaining costs will be paid for using revenue generated by the airport, including flights, fees and rentals.
