Plans are moving forward a bit more quickly for a state-of-the-art fitness facility for those serving in the 914th Airlift Wing and the Air National Guard 107th Airlift Wing.

The Air Force Reserve Commands Military Construction Program Fiscal Year 2018 budget estimates includes a plan to allocate $14 million for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station during FY19, according toU.S. Rep. Chris Collins, R-Clarence.It will assist the air base in building the fitness facility.

I am thrilled to see the Air Force has moved up their timeline for funding for a new fitness facility at the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station, Collins said. The men and women at the base deserve access to quality facilities to make sure they are as prepared as possible when called upon to serve. The current facilities at the base are outdated and do not meet the standard we expect for our service members. This is yet another positive step to enhance the base and protect its future here in Western New York.

The air base had originally intended to submit a request to fund a new fitness facility in its FY21 budget plans, but Collins said he had concerns that the current NFARS fitness facility had grown outdated and would no longer able to support the needs of the base. In a letter sent to theAir Force Reserve Commands Military Construction Program,Collins outlined his concerns and formally requested a budget request for a new fitness facility to be prioritized far sooner than FY21.

One particular concern Collins said he had was the current facility does not have an indoor track. Oftentimes, inclement weather conditions during Western New Yorks winter months would force service members to delay portions of their physical fitness tests for up to six months.Collins said he felt this has a direct effect on readiness, training requirements, and time.

In addition, he said he believed the current facility had become physically dangerous due to a lack of safe clearances. In effect, the facilitys space for equipment is inadequate to maintain effective safety protocols and the air base is forced to close base roads for the use of fitness testing during the summer months.
