The FY22 funding was allocated through the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and can be used for improvements related to runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability projects, as well as terminal, airport-transit connections and roadway projects.\n\n\u201cAir travel was severely impacted during the pandemic, and this tremendous investment from the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, which I championed in the Senate, will help New York\u2019s airports and local economies take off,\u201d said Senator Schumer. \u201cUpstate Airports connect businesses and residents and allow economic opportunities to cruise in. As majority leader, I am proud to land this significant funding for New York\u2019s airports and will continue to fight for the resources needed to fully recover and reach new heights.\u201d\n\n\u201cNew York\u2019s airports connect our state with the world, creating economic opportunity, facilitating tourism, and providing a safe and efficient travel experience,\u201d said Senator Gillibrand. \u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to have voted for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to deliver this historic investment to over 50 airports across New York State. These funds will allow our airports to recover from the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic and meet the ever-increasing demand for air travel. I\u2019ll keep fighting for federal resources to bolster and modernize New York\u2019s infrastructure.\u201d\n\nA full list of recipients is below:", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:37:48Z"]], "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.schumer.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/schumer-gillibrand-announce-more-than-130-million-in-federal-funding-for-new-york-airports-"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5264658723026514, "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"}
