SCHENECTADY COUNTY – Funding proposed in the federal infrastructure bill could help Schenectady County pay for some of the projects it wants to get done at the county airport.

But exactly what projects that money could fund is unknown at this time.

“Schenectady County will use the funds in a way that best supports this important county asset that fits within the funding parameters set after the final bill is passed and signed into law,” said Erin Roberts, the director of public communications for the county. “Without knowing what those parameters are, we cannot speak to any specifics on what projects we would use the funding for at this time.”

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has requested over $900 million in total for airports across the state, with Schenectady County expected to receive almost $1.5 million – should the bill pass.
