Senator Reed helped launch the construction of a runway extension at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick. The lengthening of the runway is one of many projects supported by Senator Reed over the years to modernize and improve T.F. Green. On the federal level, Senator Reed has led efforts to work with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on plans to invest approximately $110 million in upgrading T.F. Green and expanding the runway. In April, he voted to pass the long-term reauthorization of the FAA in an effort to enhance airport security, extend new protections to airline passengers, and keep improvements to T.F. Green on schedule.
