HPN Privatization RFP Deadline Extended
Westchester County expects to have a decision on the matter by September.

The deadline for proposals to run New York’s Westchester County Airport (HPN) has been extended until July 28, at the request of several respondents. The county issued an RFP for the airport privatization effort in early April, after county executive Rob Astorino’s failed attempt last year to award the contract without contest to Oaktree Capital Management, which runs Puerto Rico’s San Juan Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport.
