The Federal Aviation Administration has announced that it will postpone the closure of 149 air traffic control towers, including the one at the San Marcos Airport. That postponement will delay closing the air traffic control tower through at least June 15th. Closing the towers is a possibility because of federal budget cuts, but now the Texas legislature is considering an allotment that would offset the cuts. If the tower closed, pilots would have to land at the airport without assistance.
