“Stewart International Airport has invested millions to improve its facilities and add flights so it can increase passenger and commercial traffic tenfold by 2025. But in order to make this a reality, the airport’s ancient water and sewer infrastructure desperately needs to be overhauled. Making critical upgrades to this system will not only allow the airport to continue its own expansion, but also help bring new businesses and economic opportunities to the area. There are hotels, business incubators and companies currently chomping at the bit to develop the land around Stewart – and this water infrastructure project is the linchpin in their efforts,” said Schumer. “I’m urging the EDA to green-light these federal funds as soon as possible so this transformative project can take off.”
