U.S. Sen. Bob Casey announced more than $70 million in funding for 62 airports in Pennsylvania, including four in the region.
Franklin’s Venango Regional Airport will receive $159,000; Clarion County Airport, Titusville Airport, and Grove City Airport each will receive $110,000.
The funding comes from the Airport Infrastructure Grants in the recently passed bipartisan infrastructure bill, according to a news release from Casey’s office. More funding for Pennsylvania airports is expected in years to come.
Casey said the investments are expected to stimulate local economies and create jobs across Pennsylvania.
“I’m proud to say this is just the beginning of infrastructure funding coming to Pennsylvania — over the next few years, we can expect billions of dollars more that will strengthen our communities and our economy,” he said.
