WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

Stewart Airport is one step closer to becoming New York's 4th major airport. Acting New Jersey Governor Richard Coey has given the Port Authority permission to buy the Newburgh airport.

It's part of a plan to ease congestion in the region's skies and airports. The Port Authority plans a $78.5 million, 93-year lease of the airport 60 miles north of New York. It hopes to take over operations by October.
