SCHUMER: BUFFALO-LANCASTER AIRPORT TO RECEIVE OVER $58,000
Money will be used to construct a T-Hanger building
US Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced that the US Department of Transportation has awarded
$58,898 in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants to Buffalo-Lancaster Airport for airport building constructions.
“Safe and secure air service, both private and commercial, is a critical engine of Western New York's continued economic growth,” said Schumer. “This funding will improve the flow of aircraft traffic and safety at the Buffalo-Lancaster Airport so that it can meet today's modern aviation demands.”
Buffalo-Lancaster Airport will use the funds to construct a T-Hanger building to house small and private jets.
Schumer also announced that the US Department of Transportation will provide $300,000 for the Syracuse Suburban Airport to conduct an airport master plan study and rehabilitate a runway. The Lake Placid Airport will also receive $93,571 to conduct an environmental assessment in the airport's master plan study.
