Rep. Jeanne McNeill June 4, 2025 | 9:27 AM
HARRISBURG, June 4 – State Rep. Jeanne McNeill announced today that state funds totaling $1.5 million has been awarded to the Lehigh Valley International Airport in the 133rd Legislative District.
The Lehigh Valley International Airport will use the $1.5 million in state funding to construct a parking structure to enhance terminal commercial development.
“In many instances, a large portion of an airport’s total revenue is related to commercial development,” McNeill said. “This funding will not only lead to an increase in dollars generated for the airport, but it will also create jobs during the deck’s construction and from the resultant businesses it will support. This is great news for Lehigh Valley International Airport, the people in my district, and to the entire Lehigh Valley. We are fortunate to have an amazing airport like LVIA in our community, and this state investment recognizes that.”
This project will be funded by the state Capital Budget through the Aviation Transportation Assistance Program, which is supported by bonds.
Pennsylvania’s robust aviation industry employs over 226,000 people, provides nearly $12.5 billion in payroll and employment benefits, and has a $34 billion annual economic impact.
