Massena International-Richards Field Airport is set to receive a federal grant to replace aging snow-removal equipment, based on an announcement from U.S. Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. The report gives conflicting amounts: its headline says $93,275, while the story text says $935,275.
The funding is part of more than $33.7 million in Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program grants for airports across Upstate New York. The announcement says the Massena award is the only grant listed for the North Country region and would replace a carrier vehicle that has reached the end of its useful life.
