Pennsylvania Pushed For FAA Site

Pennsylvania Pushed For FAA Site — Sen Pat Toomey says that he visited Tobyhanna Army Depot in Monroe County last week to tour the impressive facility and to urge the Federal Aviation Administration to give Pennsylvania equal consideration with New York for construction of a new air traffic control facility.

Numerous properties in Eastern Pennsylvania such as Tobyhanna fit the criteria outlined by the FAA, he said. They are located in areas with considerably lower costs of living and an existing security presence which may provide an opportunity for significant cost savings. Moreover, many of these sites are also closer to New York City than Albany, where the agency is considering locating the new facility.
