Reconstruct snow removal equipment

The Town of Massena received a Project Grant award of $266,861.05 from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), which encompasses traditional Airport Improvement Program funding, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriations, and COVID-19 relief programs. The award, effective September 7, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of September 6, 2029, funds the reconstruction and replacement of snow removal equipment at Massena International Airport in Massena, New York.

This grant supports the FAA's strategic objectives of safety and operational excellence by ensuring that critical airport infrastructure remains functional and current. The four-year project timeline is consistent with typical Airport Improvement Program awards for equipment acquisition and infrastructure maintenance projects. As the awardee, the Town of Massena, a local government municipality, is responsible for project execution and must comply with standard FAA grant requirements, including maintaining airport layout plans, submitting periodic progress reports detailing project milestones, and retaining accounting records for three years following final expenditure reporting.
