The Senator emphasized that the move would uproot the lives of these families who have made Long Island their home and add unnecessary risk to the facility’s operations. The high-traffic TRACON facility, employing over 300 individuals, has managed air traffic from Kennedy Airport, LaGuardia, and regional airports, including Long Island MacArthur Airport for decades. The Senator stressed that these jobs must stay in New York and pledged to use his role in securing significant federal funds for the FAA, as Senate Majority Leader, to make sure they hear his concerns.</p>"}}
