Dayton Airport gets $5.6M for security systems
The Dayton International Airport has landed $5.6 million in federal funds to upgrade security systems.
The money — from the Federal Aviation Administration — will be used to install an integrated system that includes new cameras and access controls, according to airport spokesperson Linda Hughes.
Airport officials have been evaluating bids for the project and expect to award the work within a few weeks.
In addition to the money for security upgrades, the airport received about $300,000 to buy land as part of a noise mitigation program.
Dayton was one of five airports across the state of Ohio that received FAA funding for various improvement projects, according to a news release U.S. Sen. George Voinovich. The others include Cleveland Hopkins International Airport ($3 million), Port Columbus International Airport ($473,000), Pike County Airport ($304,000) and Marion Municipal Airport ($190,000).
“It is critical that we continue to improve the safety and efficiency of our airports, as well as overall transportation infrastructure,” Voinovich said in the release.
Earlier this month, the airport announced it will receive $10 million in stimulus funds for a new baggage handling system. That project, with enhanced explosive detection technology, is expected to begin in early 2010 and be complete by April, 2011.
