...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. 3-12-0028-040-2017 in an amount up to $196,898.00 for the design and relocation of the airport beacon at the Gainesville Regional Airport.
Because the City of Gainesville retains title to the land upon which Gainesville Regional Airport operates, the City of Gainesville, in addition to GACRAA, must formally accept all federal grant offers. GACRAA on July 27, 2017, adopted Resolution No. 17-009, which accepted and authorized execution of the anticipated grant offer.
