SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Hancock International Airport will use more than $6.6 million in federal grant money to improve the facility’s taxiway.
The funding was allocated through the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) airport improvement program (AIP), the office of U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in a Tuesday news release.
“The FAA has made runway safety, and the elimination of any potential hot spots, one of its highest priorities. Receiving a discretionary grant such as this will allow [the Syracuse] airport to further enhance its already stellar reputation for safe and efficient runway operations,” Jason Terreri, executive director of Syracuse Hancock International Airport, said in Gillibrand’s release.
