Today Congressman Bill Owens announced $632,610 in grants awarded to the Adirondack Regional Airport from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The funds will be used to expand the aircraft rescue and firefighting building and the snow removal equipment building. “Local airports like this one are critical for the economy, supporting the continued growth of tourism and commerce in our region,” said Owens. “Ensuring that pilots, passengers and staff can use this facility safely has to be one of our highest priorities. This funding will ensure that essential safety measures can be taken in the event of an emergency at the airfield.” For more, including quotes from Airport Manager Corey Hurwitch, check out the full release: 1.usa.gov/1nY6u0r
