In addition to contributions from the municipalities, it receives operating revenues from $20,000 in fuel sales and $79,000 from rentals of space for hangars and aircraft.
Pelham has asked for more information about the 2014 airport spending as well as details of financing a loan or debenture for the hangar, sceptic tank and runway improvements.
It will be considered in its budget planning.
