...explanation
The Gainesville-Alachua County Regional Airport Authority (GACRAA) anticipates an offer from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for AIP Grant No. 3-12-0028-039-2016 in an amount up to $4,514,819.00 for the following projects at Gainesville Regional Airport: 1) construction of an Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) Station; and 2) design for Phase 1 of the expansion and improvement of the Commercial Passenger Terminal.
Because the City of Gainesville retains title to the land upon which Gainesville Regional Airport operates, the City of Gainesville, in addition to the GACRAA, must formally accept all federal grant offers. The GACRAA on June 23, 2016, adopted Resolution No. 16-008, which accepted and authorized execution of the anticipated grant offer.
