THE TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT

EBENSBURG After some-more than a decade of discuss about management as good as funding, a Ebensburg Airport is now using uniformly as good as has a splendid future.

The nonprofit group using a trickery is seeking for ways to generate revenue, as good as wants to carve out a area along Route twenty-two for anniversary vendors.

In a win-win arrangement, income would go toward airfield operation as good as improvements, pronounced James Estep, boss of a group. The optimistic summary was delivered to precinct officials Monday by a nonprofit group which has been using a trickery since late 2007.

Borough Manager Dan Penatzer described airfield operations as a well-oiled machine as good as pronounced a current administration department is doing a standout job.

Theres been runway improvements, theyve paid for two pieces of snow removal equipment, as good as put a petrify building in a single hangar, Penatzer said.

The disproportion is similar to night as good as day, he said, referring to ongoing problems as good as upkeep issues which had tormented a trickery for years.

The trouble began in 1996, when a precinct shaped an authority to conduct as good as operate a airport. By 2000, as good as among bitter debate, council abolished a authority as good as voted to tighten a airport, observant it was too costly as good as benefited usually a few people.

That relieves a precinct of any responsibility for airfield operations, as good as Penatzer pronounced a arrangement is operative well.
