Los Angeles World Airports approves allocation of $5.6 million for residential soundproofing

The Letter of Agreement awards a USD5,587,500 grant for El Segundo's residential sound-insulation programme.

The grant will be combined with three Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants for a total of USD12,790,345. Grants will allow El Segundo to soundproof as estimated 406 dwelling units impacted by operations at LAX.

Of the 406 dwelling units, 42 are no longer considered eligible for FAA funding, so LAWA is allocating USD2,389,914 of the grant to pay the entire cost of soundproofing these 42 residences.
