Press Release

Today, U.S. Representative Glenn "GT' Thompson (PA-05) announced that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has awarded a $150,000 federal grant to the Bradford Regional Airport in McKean County, Pennsylvania.

"Access to the national air transportation system is an essential element in supporting our local economy," said Thompson. "This federal investment will allow the airport to continue to provide safe and reliable transportation options to our community and the surrounding area."
