WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand have announced nearly $750,000 in federal funding for Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport.
The funding was allocated through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Chautauqua County Legislature already approved the funding during its August voting session.
