FARGO (KFGO) – Fargo Airport Authority Chairman Erik Lind says he’ll ask the city commission to reconsider its decision not to extend a tax that helps pay for airport construction.
The 2-mill tax has been collected for decades.
But the city commission, on a 3-2 vote, decided earlier this month not extend the tax with concerns over the airport’s high cash reserves. Lind says the reserves are only short-term and build up when the airport receives federal money after a project is completed.
Lind says the FAA covers about 90% of most airport improvements. The commission meets Monday.
Lind was a guest on KFGO News & Views.
