FAA Wants Land
The FAA began running ads this week in a search for land on which to build the all new FAA traffic control center which would combine the functions of the facilities at MacArthur Airport and Westbury (Tracom).  The agency will require 45-50 acres of land on which to build.  They have still not ruled out going out of state but it seems more likely that it will be here on the island or Westchester.  Is this a perfect use for EPCAL or what?

It would appear that little can be done to prevent the U.S. economy from diving headlong over the cliff and into some dark and troubling waters in the next few weeks.  How tired are you of hearing the same old excuses from Washington then simply allowing 300 million people to be clobbered with a ton of new taxes.  Obama, The Senate and the House should be embarrassed that they couldn't or wouldn't do anything constructive to avoid this.
