Airports serving Syracuse, Binghamton, and the Elmira/Corning area will use federal funding to pay for upcoming projects to revitalize runways and enhance airfield safety.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allocated the more than $5.4 million in funding, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in a joint statement Tuesday.

The funding comes from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP).
