$49M in state funding for airports across the state

ALBANY | Thirty-six public-use airports across New York State will receive approximately $49 million for strategic infrastructure enhancements that will enhance safety, facilitate innovation, leverage existing resources, advance business development, and promote sustainability and resiliency. "A strong investment in our airports is a meaningful investment in our communities and the future of the Empire State," Gov. Kathy Hochul said in announcing the funding awards Oct. 20. "Airports are gateways to communities large and small across New York State and these grants will serve as a launchpad to springboard many of these facilities into the 21st century and beyond." Administered by the New York State Department of Transportation, projects funded through the Aviation Capital Grant Program include the construction and rehabilitation of new and existing hangars, electrification and carbon reduction programs, new and upgraded snow removal equipment, and updated security systems. These investments will serve to make the surrounding communities more economically competitive with neighboring states, officials said. Funding from the Aviation Capital Grant Program was awarded to several local airports including: -Adirondack Regional Airport in Franklin County - $1 million toward the completion of the town hangar and will include upgraded electric service, lighting, installation of a heating system, insulation, painting of the structural steel, replacement of metal roofing and siding, new liner panels, new windows, and new personnel doors -Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Warren County - $2.3 million toward the removal of an existing dilapidated T-hangar and the construction of a new six-unit T-hangar in the same location. -Plattsburgh International Airport in Clinton County - $2 million toward a new eight-bay T-hangar with office space, including improved access pavement, site drainage modifications, and pavement markings.
