These infrastructure investments across our regional airports in Corvallis, Florence, Gold Beach and Newport are a win for the economic growth of our rural and coastal communities. We rely on these federal dollars to build up our airports' resilience in the face of worsening wildfire seasons.

Assessments
The promise was to support federal investment in Oregon airports for infrastructure and safety. During Hoyle's current House term, Eugene Airport in Oregon's 4th District received a $2 million FAA Airport Terminal Program grant for baggage handling system upgrades, and Hoyle's office publicly announced and supported the investment. The FAA's FY2026 selections independently confirm the Oregon airport funding. Because the federal investment occurred while she was in office and aligns directly with the promised category, this counts as delivered in the same term.
