July 12, 2010 [From Congresswoman Dahlkemper's website] Erie, Pa.—Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3) presented a ceremonial check for $5,990,221 to the Erie International Airport to complete the funding package for the first phase of construction for the Runway 6-24 Improvement Project.
“We are delivering the final piece of funding with this $6 million check,” Congresswoman Dahlkemper said. “This federal funding will allow the first construction phase of this project to be completed on schedule, which is exciting for everyone given the positive impact the runway extension will have on the economy in Erie and the region.”
The improvements are expected to contribute significantly to the region’s economy by removing a major hindrance to existing corporate expansion. The airport runway extension is also expected to foster entrepreneurial business opportunities previously hampered by inadequate airport capacity.
