...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. 3-12-0028-038-2015 in an amount up to $2,468,410.00 for the following projects at Gainesville Regional Airport: 1) rehabilitation of Runway 11-29 lighting, replacement of Runway 11 REIL and improvement of Taxiway A North signage; 2) commercial apron expansion; and 3) design of aircraft rescue and firefighting station.
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 July 23, 2015, adopted Resolution No. 15-019, which accepted and authorized execution of the anticipated grant offer.
