Obviously ORH is not LaGuardia but $8 million is not $40 million either... We need a Category 3 Landing System before people really believe in ORH and the tax-payers of Worcester should not pay for it.
NEW YORK -- The Federal Aviation Administration has approved at least $40 million in funding for a new air traffic control tower at La Guardia Airport, a project U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said will help to ease flight delays and improve safety.
The new tower would replace the existing 42-year-old structure, which Schumer's office said lacked the size and capability for new equipment. The building has developed leaks because of its age and the installation and removal of equipment from its roof, the statement said. The FAA's decision to approve the funding means the project will be allotted as much money as needed to finish construction, the statement said.

HOW DO WE BEGIN TO LOOK FOR MONEY FOR A NEW LANDING SYSTEM?
Airport will never be reliable w/o Category 3. So we can keep it open like this with the Category 1 system and I think it will continue to keep losing money. If that is the case then maybe we should close.
The only way people will believe in ORH is to have a Category 3 system.. My point in posting some of the the stories the last week on the airports in New York is that monies are spent on airports by the FAA.
To answer your question, we need our local/state/federal delegation to help get the monies to upgrade our landing system. It can be done.
In retrospect, ORH would have been better off with the old terminal and a Cat 3 system versus a new terminal and a Cat 1 system.
