Airports serving Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira, Syracuse, and Watertown are among the upstate New York facilities that will benefit from federal COVID-19 relief funding.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded nearly $39.2 million in COVID-19 relief funding to airports and counties across Upstate, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) announced.
These grants are funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to provide economic-relief funds for pandemic costs. Those costs are related to operations, personnel, cleaning, sanitization, janitorial services, debt-service payments, rent and minimum-annual guarantees to airport concessions located at primary airports, and combating the spread of pathogens at a given airport.
