Kat Cammack Announces More Than $6.3 Million for Gainesville Regional Airport

This week, U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack announced $6.35 million in federal funds for the Gainesville Regional Airport.

The funds, which come from the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP), will be used for infrastructure and to purchase a new firefighting vehicle.

“Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV) continues to be an important part of our community in North Central Florida, providing commercial and chartered flights each day to destinations across the south and along the eastern seaboard,” said Cammack. “To continue the service patrons have come to expect at Gainesville Regional, it’s imperative to improve the infrastructure and continue to attract more travelers who deserve the best visitor experience possible. I know GNV will put the funds to good use, and I look forward to seeing the improvements.”

“We appreciate the efforts of all who helped to make this grant possible,” said Allan Penska, the CEO of the Gainesville Regional Airport. “These funds are vital to our continued growth and maintenance of key infrastructure. The state-of-the-art aircraft firefighting and rescue vehicle will replace an older unit that is due for retirement. Continued improvements to our general aviation pavements allow us to better serve the many charter aircraft that visit our facility, facilitates new storage hangars, and extends the life of critical infrastructure.”
