The city of Fort Worth has applied for millions in federal money to help mitigate noise for homeowners living near Alliance Airport.
City officials expect to hear in August whether its application for an additional $15 million from the FAA will be approved. The money would be used to mitigate aircraft noise in the River’s Edge neighborhood, which is a few miles north of Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. If awarded, it would bring the total to $34 million in federal grants for the project so far.
About 150 homes are in the process of receiving sound insulation. Julieanne Ceravalo said she and her family started the design process last summer. “Military jets fly over all the time, too. That’s really, really noisy. Sometimes we get used to the regular airplanes, small aircraft but the big jets are the noisy ones,” Ceravalo said. “If we have windows open, we have to stop our conversation. If we’re talking to a neighbor, we sometimes have to stop our conversation.”
