Renovations will soon start at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport

Renovations at Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport are set to commence, as announced by Governor Hochul on Friday. The $38.1 million project aims to modernize the main terminal, enhancing efficiency and traveler experience. This initiative follows a $230 million investment in Upstate New York airports, with Rochester receiving $18 million.

Key updates include modern architecture, new amenities, a parking lot guidance system, an exterior canopy, and enhanced tribute areas for veterans and Frederick Douglass. Governor Hochul emphasized the importance of the airport as a first impression for visitors and a welcoming point for residents. The changes aim to create a transformative impact, making the airport a standout facility.

This announcement comes a year after the airport was named one of USA Today’s top ten small airports.
