By unanimous vote, the Legislature accepted a $28,500 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to acquire and refurbish used friction measuring equipment for Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, such equipment used to determine safe operating conditions for aircraft during the winter months. The equipment will replace a friction measuring device that no longer works.
The FAA grant will be matched by $750 State and local shares, the local dollars allocated from the airport’s budget.
