The FAA provided the grant agreement for execution on September 9, 2022. These grant funds will facilitate the procurement and installation of assets that significantly improve ENA's snow removal operations: Installation of the cantilever gate will provide access to substantial snow storage space where snow storage is extremely limited and snow hauling routes are lengthy and time consuming. By making snow storage space readily accessible snow is handled once and stored in location not encroaching on taxiway safety areas or wingtip clearances. Acquiring a edge light cleaning attachment reduces the amount of equipment, personnel, time, and fuel required to clear the runway and taxiway edge lights.
