SYRACUSE — The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the Syracuse Regional Airport Authority more than $1.8 million in funding for the construction of a new building at the Syracuse Hancock International Airport.
Hancock Airport will use the building to house and protect snow-removal equipment.
U.S. Representative Dan Maffei (D–DeWitt) and Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner made the announcement in a news release distributed on Thursday.

Besides this funding, Maffei and Miner also announced more than $6 million in funding for improvements to Hancock Airport last summer.
They announced last July 23 a nearly $1.6 million grant to help the airport pay for the purchase of a sand spreader, a snow plow, aircraft rescue and fire fighting suits, and improvements to the airport’s runway.
Then, just over a week later, they announced a $4.5 million grant to pay for the construction of a new remain-overnight (RON) apron and a new taxiway to help keep flights on time.
