Besides the airports serving Syracuse and the Binghamton area, Massena International-Richards Field will use more than $966,000 to reconstruct taxiway lighting, install runway vertical/visual guidance system, and reconstruct airfield guidance signs.

The money was allocated through the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program (AIP), U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D–N.Y.) and U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D–N.Y.) said in a news release.
