Luzerne County seeks federal and state funds to upgrade Wyoming Valley Airport’s aging infrastructure, including new hangars and fuel facilities, to meet safety standards and support growing aviation demand.
Luzerne County is seeking bids for upgrades at Wyoming Valley Airport, including new hangars and a modern jet fuel facility, to replace aging infrastructure and meet safety standards.
Initially funded with $7 million in ARPA money, the project may need an additional $2 million, prompting a request for $451,089 in redirected federal funds and $1 million from the state.
A $500,000 gap remains.
Bids are due October 29, with work to be completed by end of 2026 to meet federal requirements.
The airport’s location in a floodplain and wetlands adds complexity.
The upgrades aim to support growing demand from commercial, recreational, and emergency aviation, including pilot training and medevac operations.
