Egg Harbor, NJ- Today, Congressman Van Drew welcomed U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to the William J. Hughes Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center to celebrate the reauthorization of the FAA, the permanent codification of the FAA Technical Center in South Jersey, and the Center's expanded role as the nation's hub for Advanced Aerospace.
