SYDNEY — Aging safety infrastructure at the J.A. Douglas McCurdy Sydney Airport will be replaced now that funding has been secured from Transport Canada, said Doug Peach, chairman of the airport authority’s board of directors.
At an announcement at the airport Sunday, the federal government will give the facility $363,000 through its Airports Capital Assistance Program to purchase a runway condition reporting system and to replace the airport’s emergency power system.

The airport authority plans to spend more than $5 million in capital improvements over the next year, including up to $1.2 million that will be spent this summer to improve services at the facility.
