Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Bob Casey (D-PA) announced today that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will allocate $2.65 million in federal funding to the Quakertown Airport in Bucks County.

“I am happy that these recovery funds are being allocated so quickly to the Quakertown Airport,” Senator Casey said. “These funds will help Quakertown Airport become safer and more efficient for travelers to and from Southeastern Pennsylvania.”
