airport for free

WOW, A billion dollar airpark at no cost. I hope they manage it well.
 
Good point, but one can still hope.
 
DHL couldn't make it work for them as a hub. Looks like a place where enthusiasts could make a real nice place to fly.

Kai.
 
A government entity "managing well" is bit of a stretch ain't it? :)

Not necessarily. Many municipal airports are run well and pay their way. The ones that get screwed up are the ones that wind up run by boards made up of neighbors who ran for the seats to stop the noise, etc.

You can find tenants at almost any airport who have some issue with their management, but that doesn't always mean the tenant is the reasonable one.

The part that I'd question would be whether commercially developing an airport in Ohio in 2010 was a safe bet. If it's screwed up, it will be because politics, rather than economic realities, determined where the capital was aimed.
 
Cowboy, how about the government taking care of Grandma with Medicare; keeping us secure with the Defense Department? The gummint CAN do a lot of things well.
 
I will trade them the Brooklyn Bridge for the airport...straight across....
