VOLNEY — The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded the Oswego County Airport two grants totaling more than $1.5 million to acquire aircraft-deicing equipment and improve taxiways, lighting, and wiring throughout the airport.
U.S. Representative Daniel Maffei (D–DeWitt) today announced the grant awards.
The funding is “very exciting news” for the airport and travelers to and from Oswego County, Bruce Bisbo, manager of the Oswego County Airport, said in Maffei’s news release.
“With these grants, we will have the funds to undergo a much-needed overhaul of our airport facilities,” Bisbo said.
The facility will use a $1 million grant to upgrade the taxiways and improve lighting and wiring at the airport. It’ll use an additional grant of more than $500,000 to acquire the deicing equipment.
The airport doesn’t currently have deicing equipment on site, according to the Maffei release.
