Dear
GXY,
NO
unwise
use of taxpayer money, mine!
Dear
GXY,

The
greatest concern seems to be how much each individual will pay for the
operation of the new facility. The cost of operating a contract tower with
a rotation of controllers is estimated to be about $250,000 per year. The
FAA will issue money to cover the cost of the tower based on the number
of operations at the airport. There have been suggestions that the FAA
might pay as much as 80% of the overhead. This estimation is based off
current operation data the FAA has on file for the Greeley Weld County
Airport (GXY). According to some web sites, GXY has 365 operations (takeoff/landing)
daily.

Dear
GXY,
YES
Safety
is the main issue. Regardless of how many operations may or may not be
taking place, the airport is frequently unsafe given the number of aircraft
trying to use it simultaneously. Lets not allow someone to be hurt or worse
because. Also - I encourage others to submit comments based not on slanted
views, but on the real situation. Let the overall safety of the flying
public be our highest priority, not the opinions of a few.

Dear
GXY,
NO
The
numbers touted by the airport administration are not correct. This is my
opinion, based on observing activity on a regular daily basis for a past
number of YEARS. That puts us in a position of trying to justify the tower
on counts that may very well come back to haunt Greeley and Weld County
in the form of reduced revenues from the FAA for tower operations cost.
VERIFY AN HONEST,ACCURATE TRAFFIC COUNT BEFORE MAKING AN EFFORT TO OBTAIN
FUNDS TO BUILD A TOWER! more...
