Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper presented a ceremonial check for $5,990,221 to the Erie International Airport to complete the funding package for the first phase of construction for the Runway 6-24 Improvement Project on July 12.
“We are delivering the final piece of funding with this $6 million check,” Congresswoman Dahlkemper said. “This federal funding will allow the first construction phase of this project to be completed on schedule, which is exciting for everyone given the positive impact the runway extension will have on the economy in Erie and the region.”
