ORLANDO, FL – January 16, 2019 –GrayRobinson attorney and government consultant Christopher T. Dawson, along with Robert F. Stuart, Jr. and Christopher L.

The Airport was one of only a handful of public entities to receive the funding. The dollars will be used to construct a Ground Run-up Enclosure (GRE) at the airport to be used for noise damping during jet engine testing and repair.
