Rendell Administration Delivers $4 Million in State Funds

Pennsylvania Transportation Secretary Allen G. Biehler today announced that $4 million in state aviation development grants have been awarded to six Pennsylvania airports.
"Safe and well-maintained airports are the hallmark of our efforts to support aviation in the Commonwealth," Biehler said. "These grants will be used for a variety of projects, including land acquisition, environmental and airport-development planning, runway and taxiway improvements, security and lighting."

Biehler said the funds are administered by PennDOT's Bureau of Aviation. The airports and funding are listed below:
