Listen Later

Here’s the Ithaca Minute for September 13th!

The Range is hosting a benefit concert for Hurricane Harvey victims in and around Houston tonight, with live music and DJing starting at 6:30pm. It’s the first of two events. The Range lineup for Wednesday, September 13th primarily consists of solo acts, with a few bands; while the Haunt lineup on Wednesday, September 27th is geared more towards bands. Funds raised will be split among the JJ Watt Foundation, the Montrose Center, and Friends for Life Animal Rescue and Adoption Organization, all verified non-profits helping out in the Houston area.

Starting next month, the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport’s three commercial airline routes will all feature jet aircraft, according to airport officials. United is replacing the last remaining turboprops serving the airport with Embraer regional jets.

At the same time, Tompkins County says an FAA grant will provide 90% of the funding to install a new passenger boarding bridge at the airport. According to airport manager Mike Hall, United will be using 50-seat Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets for its service to Newark in place of 37-seat Dash-8 turboprops. United joins Delta and American regional carriers in using jets out of Ithaca.
