LoBiondo Announces Additional $4.4 Million for ACY

Press Release

On the heels of Monday's announcement of substantial federal funding awarded to the Atlantic City International Airport, U.S. Congressman Frank A. LoBiondo (NJ-02) today announced an additional $4,449,804 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to complete the taxiway rehabilitation and reconstruction projects at ACY.

"This is clearly a great week for ACY, which has received more than $7.6 million in federal funding to complete critical infrastructure projects. The cooperative and unwavering effort to transform ACY into a top-notch airport has benefitted both passengers as well as air carriers investing in South Jersey," said LoBiondo, chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee. "I am proud of the success we've had in bringing more than $55 million to ACY in the past decade for such improvements and will continue to vigorously advocate greater connectivity of South Jersey to the nation's transportation system."

"With this grant the Atlantic City International Airport will be able to completely rehabilitate Taxiway Alpha, this is an important safety project for the airport. The SJTA is thankful to Congressman LoBiondo for his assistance in getting this money for this project and his continuous support of the airport," said South Jersey Transportation Authority Chairman and New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner Jamie Fox.

Earlier this week LoBiondo announced a discretionary grant in the amount of $3,223,440 from the FAA for ACY. Together with today's award, the total cost of the project is funded.
