Garden City Eyes FAA Reimbursement For Airport Tower
City officials discuss federal reimbursement for a $725,000 airport tower project. If approved the city would pay only about $102,000, with $300,000 from the general fund and $300,000 borrowed from the community trust fund to be repaid later. FAA funding would cover remaining costs if eligible, easing sagging revenues after recent budget cuts.
