MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma has received a $15 million federal grant for construction of the main runway, according to Newsday.
The Federal Aviation Administration gave the money to Islip Town for the 7,000-foot runway.
The existing runway will be ripped up this fall, and be replaced with new asphalt, LED lighting, pavement markings and grooves.
