The Boca Raton Airport Authority has received more than $805,000 in federal grants to replace their Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS).
In recent years, the existing AWOS has become increasingly unreliable, leading to extended periods of outages and necessitating substantial maintenance to keep it operational. The new, relocated, AWOS, will provide more reliable weather readings for air traffic controllers and pilots, while also being more cost-efficient to maintain.
“I would like to thank Congresswoman Lois Frankel and Congressman Jared Moskowitz for their support in securing this FAA grant for the airport,” states Clara Bennett, Executive Director of the BRAA. “We are pleased to continue to modernize BCT’s equipment and facilities and enhance our airport’s safety and efficiency.”
