$5 million in funding going to four Finger Lakes airports
Rochester, New York – Four Finger Lakes airports are getting nearly $5 million from the federal government.

$4.3 million will go to the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport to renovate the plane taxiway and improve the access road.
Here’s what other local airports will use the funding for:
• Finger Lakes Regional Airport in Seneca County, $58,500 to get an emergency generator
