(The Center Square) – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is planning to invest $10 million in state grant funds to improve 12 Pennsylvania airports.
The new investment will be funded through PennDOT’s Aviation Transportation Assistance Program with the goal of expanding aviation-related operational and economic opportunities statewide.

Pittsburgh International Airport will receive $2.4 million in funding for the continued development of its commercial air cargo facilities.
South Middleton Township will receive $3 million to acquire the privately-owned Carlisle Airport.
The Lehigh Valley International Airport will receive $1.7 million for the expansion of security checkpoints and terminal commercial development connectivity.
