Council approves $310,000 to remove underground fuel tanks at Steuben County Airport
Summary
The council approved a $310,000 appropriation to remove underground fuel tanks at the Steuben County Airport; county officials said they expect state reimbursement but did not guarantee full repayment.
Commission Board President Wil Howard asked the Steuben County Council on May 13 for $310,000 to remove underground fuel tanks at the Steuben County Airport.
Sheryl Kelly, president of the Board of Aviation Commissioners, told the council that the requested amount should cover removal expenses and that the county is "expecting" full reimbursement from the State of Indiana once the project is completed. The council approved the appropriation with a 6-0 vote; Councilwoman Lisa Aldrich moved and Councilman Eric Prall seconded the motion.
County officials did not provide a formal timeline for the removal or a written guarantee of reimbursement from the state during the meeting. The appropriation will enable the airport to begin procurement and remediation steps; further project details and the reimbursement process were not specified on the record.
