Franklin
County is seeking money from Triumph Gulf Coast for a new fuel
delivery system at the airport in Apalachicola.
County
staff is working on a pre-application for 920 thousand dollars in
Triumph funding for the project.
The
Apalachicola airport was the only airport able to deliver fuel after
Hurricane Michael for an area between Tallahassee and almost
Pensacola.
And
while everything worked well, it could have been otherwise because of
the age of the fuel farm.
The
county will now seek $920K of TRIUMPH funds with a match of $150K
from Department of Transportation for a back-up generator for the
fuel farm.
County
RESTORE coordinator Alan Pierce said the TRIUMPH Board seems eager to
provide assistance to the airport since it played a key role in the
region’s hurricane recovery, so now is the time to act.
County
staff plans to submit the pre-application as soon as possible.
