Governor Kathy Hochul announced several months ago $230 million in awards to nine upstate airports for revitalization projects that reimagine and further modernize airports across upstate New York. The funding comes from the Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization Competition, a competitive solicitation that aims to promote, revitalize and accelerate investments in upstate commercial passenger service airports, helping to create airports for the 21st century.
“Our upstate airports are our gateways to local economies and make lasting impressions, connecting New Yorkers and tourists to the beautiful destinations that the Empire State has to offer,” Governor Hochul said. “By making critical investments to further modernize facilities across upstate New York, we are lifting upstate airports to new heights and providing a 21st century transportation experience that travelers expect and deserve.”
