Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport has been awarded $3.65 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation to improve fire and rescue operations. U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy announced the grant awards today, saying the money will be used to put facilities and equipment in place to keep the airport safe for passengers and employees. This is the second big grant award for the airport in the past three weeks; $4.42 million in federal funds were awarded last month to cover the cost of resurfacing the runway.
