BATAVIA — The Genesee County Airport will receive $184,871 in federal funding from the Federal Aviation Administration to reconstruct and rehabilitate 3,400 feet of existing runway, according to U.S. Rep. Chris Collins.
“Utilizing grant funding to support our local governments is a smart investment and a responsible use of federal tax dollars,” Collins said. “Investing in infrastructure projects like the Genesee County Airport’s runway rehabilitation will significantly improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of its daily operations. These efforts will allow the Genesee County Airport to continue to grow and positively impact our local economy for years to come.”
“This important federal funding will help ensure the future of the Genesee County Airport,” said Ray Cianfrini, Chairman of the Genesee County Legislature. “The grant will fund the full depth reconstruction of 3,400 feet of the existing Runway 10/28 pavement that has reached the end of its useful life. We look forward to continuing to work with Congressman Collins to improve local transportation infrastructure and support job growth throughout Genesee County.”
The Congressman’s office remains available to assist any local government pursuing a federal grant.
