“Investing in infrastructure projects at Ithaca Elmira/Corning Airport is critical to ensuring that the airport is safe and sustainable for years to come,” said Schumer. “These federal dollars will go a long way in providing the necessary improvements to keep the airport running smoothly for years to come.”
“This is a great investment for the Elmira/Corning Airport,” Senator Gillibrand said. “These federal dollars will support job creation and bring critical updates for the airport. I will continue working with Senator Schumer and the entire Congressional Delegation to make sure New York gets its fair share from the federal government.”
