Governor David A. Paterson recently kicked off a $376.3 million runway reconstruction project for John F. Kennedy International Airport. The Bay Runway which at 14,572 ft is one of the longest runways in the nation will undergo rehabilitation to reduce delays and improve airport operations while supporting 2,500 jobs.
“If Kennedy Airport is to remain a portal to and from this city and our country, we must continue to invest in it through necessary infrastructure upgrades,” said Governor Paterson in a statement.
