The FAA is asking for public comments on the environmental assessment to\u00a0replace 31 outdated airport traffic control towers at general aviation airports\u00a0across the country.<\/p>\n

The FAA has set aside more than $500 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support site evaluation, preparation, and early construction activities.<\/p>\n

The new towers would replace towers functioning beyond their intended design life, according to FAA officials. They will incorporate sustainability elements such as all-electric building systems, materials and products free from chemicals known to pose health risks, a thermally efficient fa\u00e7ade, recycled steel and metal products, renewable mass timber when usable, and ground-source heating and cooling in some environments.<\/p>\n

The towers, designed by Practice for Architecture and Urbanism (PAU) of New York, will range in height from 60 to 119 feet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment is available for public review\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the report, the FAA considers the conditions and potential environmental impacts of replacing these FAA-owned control towers with modern facilities. It also analyzes the potential environmental impacts that may result from the construction and operation of the proposed new towers and decommissioning and removal of the existing towers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
