Connellsville Airport Gets New Runway

The Joseph A. Hardy Connellsville Airport has started work on a new runway.  At a ribbon-cutting Thursday for the new runway, officials spoke of the importance of having a county airport and the impact of improvements to the facility which will hopefully attract more corporate users.

The runway is just one part of the larger project whereby the airport will demolish 11 storage hangars, replacing them with seven aviation T-hangars capable of storing corporate jets. That project will cost about $1.8 million.

Baker Engineering in Moon will design the upcoming projects. Engineer Jennifer Andy said she is designing the apron reconstruction. Work will begin this summer. The hangar project should start later this year.
