PennDOT Invests $10M in Improvements at Five Pennsylvania Airports
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a $10 million investment to improve infrastructure at five public-use airports across the state, including significant upgrades at Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport. The largest portion of funding, $6.2 million, is allocated to expanding the terminal and modernizing the TSA screening area at Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport to enhance passenger experience and safety. Other projects include constructing new hangars at Quakertown Airport, extending water access at Doylestown Airport, and renovating the administration building at DuBois Regional Airport. These investments are part of Governor Josh Shapiro's administration's broader effort to maintain and expand Pennsylvania’s aviation infrastructure, which supports over 226,000 jobs and contributes $34 billion annually to the state's economy. Funding is provided through the state Capital Budget via the Aviation Transportation Assistance Program, backed by bonds. Officials emphasize that these upgrades will bolster safety, security, and economic growth by supporting the state's vital aviation industry.
