Funds Sought to Muffle Jet Noise
Los Angeles County officials will apply to the Federal Aviation Administration for more than $67 million to diminish the impact of jet noise from Los Angeles International Airport on homes in Lennox.
The County Board of Supervisors approved the application Tuesday.
Up to 2,022 homes could be soundproofed and 52 more purchased and demolished if the 10-year program is funded by the federal agency.
All improvements would be voluntary and would be at no cost to homeowners near the flight path to LAX.
