Lehigh & Luzerne county airports receive funding for upgrades

The Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport (AVP) will expand its terminal and modernize the TSA screening area with a $6.2 million state grant.

The upgrades will improve passenger flow and enhance security operations, according to State Sen. Marty Flynn’s office. The grant will also help support the continued growth of the airport.

The Lehigh Valley International Airport (ABE) received $1.5 million to construct a parking structure to enhance terminal commercial development.

The projects are financed through the state Capital Budget’s Aviation Transportation Assistance Program.
