Allegheny County Council recently voted unanimously to confirm state Senator Matt Smith (D-Allegheny/Washington) to a new term on the nine-member Allegheny County Airport Authority.

"I'm humbled to be reappointed by County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and for council's confirmation and support," Smith said. "I'm proud of what we've been able to accomplish in the time that I have served on the board."

The Allegheny County Airport Authority operates both the Pittsburgh International Airport located in Findlay Township as well as the Allegheny County Airport in West Mifflin.

Smith was first appointed to the board in December 2010. "Now as we continue to move forward with new leadership in the CEO role, I look forward to the next five years of growth both at Pittsburgh International and in the airport corridor," Smith added. "We have tremendous potential as a region and our airports will play a key role in future growth and economic vitality."

A total of six reappointments to county boards and authorities were considered and approved.
