OSWEGO â The countyâs Infrastructure, Facilities and Technology Committee has approved using $600,000 designated for the Volney Sewer Project to build a new terminal at the county airport.
Airport Manager Brandon Schwerdt requested the money be reallocated in order to complete a project whose grant funding fell short of expectations.
âWe actually designed a beautiful terminal building to utilize the grant funding,â Schwerdt said. âBids came in July of 2020, and they came in way over budget. So, we rejected all of those bids, and we went back to the drawing board and redesigned the whole building, cut out some of the amenities, there was a beautiful rotunda with all glass from the floor to the ceiling, and a unique roofline, just to set it apart from all the other buildings here on the airport. We actually went back and, due to budget, cut those out and really simplified the building to better fit within the funds we had allotted. And even still with all those reductions, we still came in over budget.â
