WASHINGTON, D.C — U.S. Representative Frank A. LoBiondo (R-2nd), a member of the House Aviation Subcommittee, Wednesday, Feb. 11 announced $1,326,775 in federal funding to Cape May County from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its airport.
The federal funding will be used to rehabilitate taxiways B and D at the airport, which will include pavement milling, reconstruction, grading and the replacement of drainage piping.
“This is outstanding news! I am very pleased the Cape May County airport will receive this critical federal investment for runway and safety improvements,” said LoBiondo in a release.
“South Jersey airports play an important role in the long-term economic growth of the region. In continuing public-private partnership with local projects, this federal grant will go a long way to ensure further safe operation of the facilities for residents and visitors to Cape May County.”
The federal funding is awarded from the FAA’s Airport Improvement Program. Eligible projects include those improvements related to enhancing airport safety, capacity, security, and environmental concerns. Any professional services that are necessary for eligible projects — such as planning, surveying, and design — are eligible as is runway, taxiway, and apron pavement maintenance. Aviation demand at the airport must justify the projects, which must also meet Federal environmental and procurement requirements.
