Gov. Cuomo touts work to renovate upstate NY airports
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is touting work to renovate airports in Syracuse, Plattsburgh and the Southern Tier.
The Democrat, who is up for re-election next week, traveled to Syracuse Hancock International Airport on Thursday to announce the completion of that facility's $62 million overhaul.
On Friday his office announced the successful completion of the work at Plattsburgh International Airport on Thursday. Construction is also wrapping up at Elmira-Corning Regional Airport, though work on the airport's tower is expected to end later this month.
The work is intended to upgrade security and baggage handling and improve the experience of travelers.
