$37 MILLION FOR SCHOOL SOUNDPROOFING APPROVED BY PORT AUTHORITY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Funding Will Soundproof 21 Schools in New York and New Jersey
The Port Authority Board of Commissioners today authorized $37 million to provide quieter classrooms in 21 schools in New York and New Jersey as part of a continuing 23-year program to soundproof all schools affected by aircraft noise near the Port Authority.s aviation facilities.
The funding was approved for 13 schools in New York and 8 schools in New Jersey.
That's all fine and dandy...it's actually a smart move, since my high school (Forest Hills High School, which is not listed, as you'll see below) is "plagued" by the incessant roar of jets on the Expressway Visual or departing 13 at LGA. But I do have to wonder...
