WASHINGTON – The Federal Aviation Administration has awarded two Hudson Valley area airports funding under its Airport Improvement Program.
“We don’t want to just build our airports back to the way things were before the pandemic. We wat our airports to be better than ever – accessible to all, delivering maximum benefit to their communities, and helping directly and indirectly create jobs for millions of Americans,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Sullivan County International Airport in Bethel will receive $100,000 for apron rehabilitation. Hudson Valley Regional Airport, formerly named Dutchess County Airport, in Wappinger, will receive $35,000 for security enhancements.
Both of those facilities are general aviation airports with no commercial passenger service.
Albany International Airport, which has commercial fights, will receive $6.4 million for taxiway rehabilitation.
