EBENSBURG, Aug. 28 – Continuing his work to bolster commerce and economic growth in Cambria County, state Rep. Frank Burns today announced a total of $150,000 in state grants to upgrade and enhance the John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County airport.
Burns, D-Cambria, said the funds will be used toward improvements at the airport’s passenger terminal facility, including energy-efficient components.
“Investments to support and create jobs and attract additional economic opportunities in Cambria County are among my top priorities as a legislator,” Burns said. “Making these needed improvements ensures the airport stays competitive and supports current and future jobs in the region.”
The airport is among 29 across Pennsylvania that will receive more than $13 million in state investments from the state Department of Transportation’s Aviation Transportation Assistance Program, the Aviation Development Program and the Multimodal Fund.
As of April 2019, Pennsylvania ranks 13th nationwide in the total number of public-use aviation facilities, with 127 airports, heliports and seaplane bases.
