Bradford County Airport to receive state grant, Pickett says
Bradford County Airport in Towanda Township will benefit from $200,000 in state grant funds, Rep. Tina Pickett (R-Bradford/Sullivan/Susquehanna) announced recently.
The grant will be used to construct hangars at the facility.
"Although a large majority of transportation dollars are used along the Northern Tier for road and bridge projects, an important part of a strong transportation infrastructure is the availability of all types of transportation, including air," said Pickett, a member of the House Transportation Committee. "I am pleased this grant is coming back to our local area in an effort to make needed enhancements at the Bradford County Airport."
The grants are distributed through the Capital Budget/Transportation Assistance Program, which is funded through state capital bond dollars in the General Fund budget. The grants leverage more than $11 million in local matching funds. Authorized by the General Assembly, the grants are administered by PennDOT's Bureau of Aviation.
