Said it’s an investment in the future of Northeast Philadelphia
Rep. Ed Neilson November 1, 2024 | 2:54 PM
Reaffirming commitment to his role as Majority Chair of the House Transportation Committee, state Rep. Ed Neilson today joined state Sen. Jimmy Dillon to present $1 million in state funding to Northeast Philadelphia Airport for critical upgrades to the facility.
“This funding will go a long way to modernizing Northeast Airport which helps keep it competitive and an even stronger economic engine for Northeast Philadelphia and Pennsylvania,” Neilson said. “It will ease the burden of Northeast residents while traveling, boost tourism and support local jobs. It’s a commitment to the future of Pennsylvania’s transportation sector.”
Secured by Neilson and Dillion, the funding comes from the Local Share Account grant program, supported by the Department of Community and Economic Development. It will be used for upgrading the facility, enhancing security, and improvements to office space for the many workers employed there.
“This funding represents meaningful investments in our community,” Dillon said. “We’ll keep working to secure more support for the people and organizations that make Northeast Philadelphia thrive."
