Just as important is keeping West Virginians connected to the world,\u201d said Rockefeller. \u201cYeager Airport serves as a gateway for businesses, jobs and tourism in our state. This award gives Yeager the ability to make updates and improvements that will benefit those traveling in and out of our state\u2019s capital.\u201d These funds, awarded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will be used to purchase an electric Preconditioned Air (PCA) system and gate electrification equipment through the Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) infrastructure program. The VALE program was established in 2004 by Vision 100 to encourage airport sponsors to implement clean technology projects that improve air quality.\u00a0  \u00a0\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n    \n\t\n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.manchin.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ContentRecord_id=8656526b-73cb-44d7-9772-4f059e3b1529"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.211219932883978, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
