Walla Walla air tower to stay open
For now, anyway, air traffic control will remain in operation locally.
The air-traffic control tower at the Walla Walla Regional Airport has been cleared for continued operation by the Federal Aviation Administration — at least for the time being.

The reason for Walla Walla’s reprieve: federal funds for the cost-share contract towers, such as Walla Walla’s, are subject to the 5 percent cuts affecting towers across the country, but they will not result in tower closures, the FAA said Friday.
