Airport Aid Funds In Doubt
Vermont officials say FAA word on airport construction aid is pending while the state seeks 600000 for the next biennium with no matching funds available. Matching money is tied up in a stalled airport regionalization bill that failed approval in 1967. Gov Hoff threatens a special session to free surplus funds for school construction if FAA requires proof of matching funds. Federal and state officials met May 4 to review the bill status and a detailed report was filed.
