With this award, we look forward to an updated airport offering better connectivity and mobility to our region's businesses, while welcoming companies to do business here for years to come."



Senator Joseph E. Robach said, "This investment will open new doors for businesses and take economic development in our communities to new heights. I commend Governor Cuomo for seeing the potential in Rochester International Airport and investing in what will be a world-class flying experience for both residents and visitors in our region."

This essential infrastructure investment will further support our efforts to build a world-class transportation system that will strengthen our ability to compete in the global economy and attract new companies and jobs to our community. I am grateful for Governor Cuomo’s continued leadership as well as the dedication of my colleagues on the Regional Economic Development Council and our many community partners who have made this exciting day for Rochester possible."
