TRENTON — New Jersey airports will get $27 million in federal grants, most of it for safety improvements at Teterboro and Trenton-Mercer airports, officials announced today.
Trenton-Mercer, a county-owned airport, will get $13.4 million to improve its runway safety area, according to a joint announcement by New Jersey’s two U.S. Senators, Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez. Teterboro Airport, a general aviation facility in Bergen County owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, will get $10.6 million for similar improvements, the senators announced.
Newark Liberty International Airport, also owned by the Port Authority, will get $3.2 million to rehabilitate its taxiways, the senators said, while Morristown Municipal Airport will get $190,475 to improve its runway approach.
"These upgrades will help us strengthen our economy, accommodate business travelers and welcome tourists," Lautenberg said in a statement.
