Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority

Take a look a at how the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority markets Buffalo and Niagara airports. The similarities between Boston and Worcester are striking. Now read about their plans to pump $23 million into Niagara Airport. This is a great story and way too long to print here.

The line that jumped out to me was "Since it was opened in 1928, and later purchased by the NFTA from the City of Niagara Falls for $2 million in 1970" Maybe the only way to get MassPort truly committed to ORH is to actually sell the airport to me.

Unlike Charley Farley, who said "CloseORH", I say "SellORH" to MassPort..

Thats actually not a half bad idea...if Massport actually owned ORH, they would be forced to do something about it to avoid losing money.
