Board approves improvements at Allegheny County Airport

The Allegheny County Airport Authority Board voted to approve more than $2 million in funding for the replacement of the roof of the terminal at Allegheny County Airport, a key part of the corporate and aviation-business economy in and around Pittsburgh.

Approved were up to $1.4 million in an agreement with Allegheny Construction Group for general construction of the replacement of the roof on the Art Deco terminal building; $495,000 with Hranec Corp. for mechanical construction; $249,000 with Mare Solutions on electrical construction services; $237,000 with Management Engineering Corp. for construction management; and $201,000 for plumbing construction.

Each of the authorizations approved Friday during the board’s regular meeting are for bids opened over the summer for the project. It’s part of a number of federal and state grant-funded projects at Allegheny County Airport, which handles a lot of corporate aviation and general aviation that the bigger Pittsburgh International Airport doesn’t. Other projects funded in 2024 at the airport include $7.4 million for runway improvements, $1.5 million for improvement at a hangar on the airfield and $1.5 million for work on a taxiway.
