ROME — The Federal Aviation Administration will readmit Griffiss International Airport into the Military Airport Program (MAP) with a grant worth $270,000 in MAP funding to renovate hangars and make them more energy efficient.
In addition, Griffiss International Airport will receive a second federal grant worth $475,200 from the U.S. Department of Transportation to help plan long-term upgrades to the airport.
The grant funding through the DOT’s MAP program will be used to rehabilitate hangars 785 and 786, providing about 28,000 square feet of functional, energy-efficient hangar space. The additional $475,200 grant will be used to update the airport’s master plan to help identify future needs, including a geographic information system (GIS) survey.
