Gov. Tom Wolf announced Wednesday $13.7 million in grants will be used to upgrade 29 airports statewide, including a handful that service the Mon Valley.
Local airports benefiting are Pittsburgh International, Allegheny County Regional, Arnold Palmer Regional and Rostraver Airport.
State Sen. Jim Brewster, D-McKeesport said Allegheny County Airport in West Mifflin was awarded $900,000 to upgrade airport buildings.
“Allegheny County Airport is a regional resource that enhances development potential throughout the Mon Valley,” Brewster stated. “An improved airport, in addition to the new Mon/Fayette Expressway and other local economic projects create business development opportunities for the area.”
The grant was made possible through PennDOT’s Aviation Transportation Assistance Program, Aviation Development Program and the Multimodal Fund.
