Genesee County will lose
$26,000 in yearly lease money and more than that in fuel sales at the
County Airport as New York State Police Aviation Unit has moved to
Rochester.
State police moved its Batavia and Syracuse operations to Greater Rochester International Airport, official today.
“This
move will improve efficiency and effectiveness while maintaining the
same or improved levels of service,” state police said in a statement.
State police renewed its lease with a five-year contract in 2011.
State police paid the county $26,136 this year to use space at the airport, County Manager Jay Gsell said.
“But
the biggest thing was fuel,” he said. “That was a big benefit to us.
They bought a lot of fuel and helped generate revenue, so we’re losing
both the lease and fuel revenue.”
Gsell didn’t have a breakdown
of how much state police spent on fuel. Highway Department
Superintendent Tim Hens was unavailable Tuesday
Gsell did say there is a waiting list for people wanted to lease T-hangar space at the airport, which will offset the losses.
