Stewart Airport Lease Deal Advances in Trenton

TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey moved another step closer Monday to allowing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to lease Stewart International Airport in Newburgh to ease congestion in the region's skies and airports.

The plan was cleared by an Assembly committee Monday and can now be considered by the full Assembly. It was approved by the Senate on Thursday.

The Port Authority plans to enter into a $78.5 million, 93-year lease of the airport 60 miles north of New York by October.
