Allegany County Legislature approves $100,000 funding deal for Wellsville Airport

The Allegany County Legislature Tuesday afternoon approved a $100,000 funding agreement for the Wellsville Municipal Airport. The measure was approved by a vote of 13-2. According to the resolution, $50,000 will be paid to the town of Wellsville this year and another $50,000 payment will be made in 2020. The money will come from the county's contingency fund.
Lawmakers also approved providing the Allegany County Land Bank funding of $50,000. The vote was 13-2. Although the Land Bank has taken measures to significantly reduce its annual costs, State grant funds are insufficient to support the purpose the Allegany County Land Bank was created for.
