Congressman Nick Langworthy Announces $128,436 Grant for Wellsville Municipal Airport
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) announced that the Town of Wellsville has been awarded $128,436 by the Department of Transportation for the Wellsville Municipal Airport.
Specifically, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded this grant for Wellsville Municipal to conduct a new airport-wide obstruction survey. This is an evaluation that would determine if there is any object that may affect the national airspace, air navigation facilities, or airport capacity.
“As the chairman of the House Aviation Safety Caucus, I am pleased that the FAA is investing in small local airports such as Wellsville Municipal,” said Congressman Langworthy. “This funding will be used to ensure that the airspace and facilities at Wellsville Municipal are of the highest standard – because when it comes to aviation safety, everyone’s lives are on the line.”
