FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE) – Local leaders came together Tuesday afternoon to offer a glimpse into the future of how President Biden's trillion-dollar infrastructure package will start to rebuild not only our country but the Central Valley.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- It's estimated 2.6 million travelers will pass through Fresno Yosemite International Airport this year.

The new parking garage is already in use but not all floors are accessible yet.

The city now looks to expand beyond the garage.

"We also have plans on the horizon for a new terminal," says Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer. "We do not have the funding for that yet."

The City of Fresno hopes to tap into the $15 billion available in airport infrastructure grants and $5 billion for airport terminal projects.
