FLORENCE — After reallocating all of the Florence Regional Airport’s city funding, Florence city council has voted to restore the airport’s funding — adding more money than originally planned.

City Council voted unanimously June 22 to allocate $100,000 to the airport two weeks after withdrawing the airport’s city community programming funding.
