I will continue to fight for funds that will help keep our airports safe and sustainable for years to come."
"This is a great investment for the Syracuse Hancock International Airport," Senator Gillibrand said. "These federal dollars will support job creation and bring critical updates for the airport. I will continue working with Senator Schumer and the entire Congressional Delegation to make sure New York gets its fair share from the federal government."
