"By making smart state investments in aviation, we can help ensure that the commonwealth's airports are running safely and efficiently," Governor Rendell said. "This investment will not only allow these airports to make necessary enhancements, it will also help them to further stimulate local economies."

The program is funded through state capital bond dollars in the General Fund budget. The grants, which are authorized by the General Assembly, are administered by PennDOT's Bureau of Aviation.
