Airports serving Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira/Corning, Cortland County, Norwich, and Oneonta are among the facilities sharing in more than $441 million in federal coronavirus relief.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is allocating the funding for airports all across New York state, the office of U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) announced. The funding is part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act.
The CARES Act provides funds to increase the federal share to 100 percent for the Airport Improvement Program and other grants already planned for fiscal year 2020. Schumer and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) explained that the additional funding and elimination of the local share will allow for critical safety and capacity projects to continue as planned, despite the current financial impact of COVID-19 on airports.
