(WNY News Now) – Two major infrastructure grants will help modernize Elmira Corning Regional Airport, aiming to improve safety, operations, and long-term regional growth.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced the Federal Aviation Administration has awarded $1,580,131 to Corning Regional Airport for reconstructing an existing terminal building roof. The FAA awarded Corning Regional an additional $615,943 grant to improve a snow removal equipment storage building.

“Corning’s airport is a vital resource for the regional economy,” said Congressman Langworthy. “This federal investment will ensure the airport can make necessary upgrades that enhance safety, improve operations, and support long-term development across the Southern Tier. I’ll always fight for infrastructure that delivers results for our rural communities.”
