ONONDAGA COUNTY, N.Y. -- Hancock International Airport will now be a state-run authority. Governor Cuomo signed a bill Thursday creating a Syracuse Regional Airport Authority.
The authority will have the power to issue up to $200 million in bonds, for which the state, Onondaga County and the City of Syracuse will not be liable.
Senator John DeFrancisco says having an airport authority will allow Hancock to function more like a business and will give extra flexibility, making it easier to bring more carriers to the region.
The 11 member authority will include seven members appointed by the city's mayor, one each by the Onondaga County Executive, the DeWitt Town Board, the East Syracuse Minoa School District, and a one-year appointment that will alternate between the North Syracuse Central School District Board of Education and the Clay Cicero and Salina Town Boards.
