BETHEL – The FAA awarded Sullivan County $481,200 for an infrastructure improvement at the county airport in Bethel.
The funds will be used to install an emergency generator to provide power to the runway lighting system in the event of a power outage. The funds will also support the installation of a new runway guidance system, which will include a precision approach path indicator to make the airport more accessible by improving approaches to the runway ends.
Sullivan County Airport serves private and corporate aircraft.
US Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced the grant.
