WILLIAMSPORT — On May 2, Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) announced that the Williamsport Municipal Airport Authority will receive an additional $625,000 in federal funding.
The money was awarded through two U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) grants.
The first grant totaled $585,000 and will be used to install runway incursion lighting, as well as acquire snow removal equipment. The second grant totaled $40,000 and will be used to rehabilitate 300 feet of existing taxiway to maintain the structural integrity of the pavement and to minimize foreign object debris.
“I am happy to once again announce that a significant amount of federal money is heading to Williamsport Regional Airport,” Meuser said. “As we strive to bring back commercial flights to Williamsport Regional Airport, these federal dollars will help ensure the facility maintains operational conditions that will attract and entice carriers. The airport is important to our region, and I remain its vocal advocate in Congress.”
These grants come on the heels of a separate DOT grant, which awarded Williamsport Regional Airport $332,100 to rehabilitate 1,000 feet of the existing airport access road to extend its use.
