Safety, Economics Fuel Cedar Rapids Airport Tower Dispute
Local officials contend FAA plans to close Cedar Rapids Municipal Airport control tower at night raise safety and economic concerns. Mayor Canney argues hours cut ignores night activity and overall cost, while FAA cites low night operations and reliance on 24 hour FSS for information. Airport manager Jameson warns of snow removal, security gaps, and potential loss of United Airlines service, as the FAA maintains the change to reduce manpower.
