HARRISBURG – Sen. Wayne Langerholc, Jr. (R-35) issued the following statement on the approval of an advanced air mobility site in Cambria County:
“This budget includes a policy that I developed and spearheaded which is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania. It will designate an Advanced Air Mobility Site at the Johnstown-Cambria County Airport. This investment puts our region at the cutting edge of aviation technology, bringing innovation, high-paying jobs, and new opportunities to our region.
“This builds on my work to make Pennsylvania a leader in drone research and the future of aviation. Earlier this year, the Senate passed legislation that would allow the Commonwealth to join an interstate agreement on drone research and deployment. At the same time, Aerium is bringing together the aviation industry to tackle real-world challenges in aviation and technology. Together, these efforts are driving growth and showing that our region is ready for the future.”
