South Shore Regional Airport to get long-awaited fuel system
It’s been more than 10 years since the South Shore Regional Airport in Greenfield has had any kind of a fuel system to refuel the private airplanes that fly in and out of there. Now that’s about to change. The Region of Queens Municipality (RQM) has set aside $50,000 in its 2021-22 budget for a new, above-ground fuel supply system to be installed there. Work is expected to take place later this year.
