AIRPORT AWARDED FUNDS

According to the Evening Sun, local and federal officials announced last week that the Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport will get a $2.3 million federal boost from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Funding comes by way of the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program, which is awarded to airports to bolster their airfield safety and improve day-to-day operations.

The Norwich-based Lt. Warren E. Eaton Airport was among 13 airports across New York State to receive federal funds totaling more than $27 million.
