Chautauqua Countyás two public airports have received funding from New York state earmarked for infrastructure and security enhancements.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced last week that $49 million dollars will be allocated. Locally, Chautauqua Countyás Dunkirk Airport will receive $500,000 dollars toward the replacement of two existing bi-fold hangar doors from the 1960s with new electric bi-fold doors.

Additionally, the Chautauqua County Jamestown Airport is slated to receive $1.1 million dollars for the improvement of existing commercial space within the airport terminal building, replacement of a rapid heating system in an existing hangar and the replacement of an existing security camera system in and around the terminal.

âWe appreciate the state funding allocated to both of our Chautauqua County Airports,ã said Shannon Fischer, county airports manager. âWe are looking forward to making these, much needed, improvements and investments to our airportsá infrastructure.ã

The projects will be administered by the state Department of Transportation.
