The Oswego County Airport will use a state grant of more than $1 million to build a terminal building at the facility.
At the same time, Griffiss International Airport in Rome will use a $1.5 million grant to convert a hangar for use as a community college aviation school.
The grants are part of $20.5 million in funding that Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Jan. 8 for 29 airport projects under the aviation capital grant program.
This state-funded program supports strategic investments at public-use airports across New York to “ensure safety, modernize aviation-related facilities, leverage private investment, and sustain and create well-paying aeronautical-related jobs,” Cuomo’s office said in a news release.
Additional grant awards
Besides the facilities in Volney and in Rome, the state awarded funding to airports in both the North Country and Southern Tier.
In the North Country, Massena International Airport will use its state award of $180,000 to purchase a fuel truck.
The state awarded Potsdam Municipal Airport a grant of nearly $155,000 to acquire multi-purpose airport-maintenance equipment.
Watertown International Airport will utilize a $1.5 million state grant to construct a new hangar for air-ambulance services.
In the Southern Tier, Corning-Painted Post Airport will use a state award of more than $448,000 to construct helicopter maintenance and storage hangar.
The New York State Department of Transportation will “immediately” begin to work with airport-project sponsors on the “delivery” of the planned improvements.
“New York’s airports are the front door to the Empire State, and in order to build on our efforts to attract new businesses and visitors, we will invest in these regional gateways to provide the best and safest travel opportunities for everyone,” Cuomo said in the release. “Modernizing our airports and transforming them into state-of-the-art transit hubs will keep New York competitive in today’s global economy, while providing an improved, more efficient means of travel for residents and visitors for decades to come.”
Cuomo in March 2017 announced the availability of funding, which was included in the $21.1 billion, five-year state-transportation plan. Projects funded under this initiative include security checkpoint enhancements, acquisition of ground service and maintenance equipment, terminal modernization and expansion, and construction of airplane-hangar facilities.
