State funding from the Renew and Rebuild New York Transportation Bond Act of 2005 will be delivered to Orange County and Kingston-Ulster Airports.
“This funding will support much needed infrastructure and security projects at both the Orange County Airport and the Kingston-Ulster Airport,” said Senator William Larkin, R,C-Cornwall on Hudson, in a prepared statement. “They are good investments for our region’s aviation industry.”
The Orange County Airport will receive $1.106 million for water and sewer improvements, new access controls, gates, closed-circuit TV and additional lighting.
The Kingston-Ulster Airport will receive $30,000 for upgrades to its monitored security and fire alarm.
The $2.9 billion Rebuild and Renew New York Transportation Bond Act is part of the state Department of Transportation’s overall five-year, $17.9 billion capital program that will fund improvements to New York’s transportation system through 2010. Bond act funding is still available for State Fiscal Years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010.
