Mr. Wayne Reynolds, representing Blue Ridge Aircraft, said the
apron is in dire need of repair and, if another winter goes by as
it is, it will become a safety hazard.
Mr. Bange explained that this is the final result in Council ' s
effort to obtain FAA and State funds to improve some of the facili-
ties that are deteriorating. The original figure was around $80, 000
Town cost. With this grant and additional money from the State Cor-
poration Commission, the Town' s share will be $31 , 995, which has al-
ready been over-appropriated. Mr. Herrell emphasized the fact that
none of this money is coming from the taxpayer' s pocket, it comes
from rental of the airport over the past years. Mayor Newman said
it is quite obvious that no money has been spent on the airport.
