Legislation backed by Congressman Moran may preserve funding despite fewer travelers. The airport winter-into-spring plan includes Flower Aviation proposals to boost revenue with fuel sales, a new building, and hangar leases, offset by a runway repaving project andPossibly occupied space by a prospective FedEx cargo tenant.
