AIRPORT DISTRICT -- Federal Aviation officials indicated the agency
will approve Burbank Airport's request to insulate additional rooms at
Luther Burbank Middle School to aircraft noise, airport officials said.
Commissioners of the Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority voted
Jan. 18 to apply for a grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to
pay for the bulk of the work.
The Airport Authority requested the grant after Luther Principal
Marilyn Ramsey wrote a letter in October asking for insulation for the
school's auditorium and music room.
The FAA would pay 80% of the $582,000 project, with the authority
contributing the remaining 20%, airport spokesman Victor Gill said.
Gill said the funds would likely be available in late September, at
the end of the federal fiscal year.
