Questions Outstanding

  1. 282 days left in current agreement with MassPort, which is currently paying 68% of operating deficit.
  2. New Regional Air Study Plan--awaiting final results.
  3. Leigh Fisher Master Plan--awaiting final report.
  4. IMG Recruiting Efforts---awaiting any word on current status.
  5. RFP's of two parcels of land--released shortly.
  6. Major announcements--- thought there were some being announced shortly when Allegiant stopped service?
  7. Part 139--how much would the airport save if they were no longer Part 139 certified?

I would like to see a sale to Massport and their ability to influence Delta, US Air and JetBlue to begin service this fall/winter. I know that is pushing it but that would be what it would take to be a major announcement for me.

It looks to me that we are sitting on $300,000 still from the Small Community Air Service Grant, never mind applyinng for more grants. No,I understand what you are saying.

283 days left in the current contract--too bad we didn't have a final Master Plan, New Regional Air Study results and IMG results on recruiting commercial air service to help us decide what to do...

There is no way we will have any commercial air service this winter (peak time for ORH) season. Truly sad state.

I know i am wandering off the ORH reservation here, but why would we spend $2 to $3M for engineering and design of a POTENTIAL canal project, when we dont even know if we have the estimated $25M to do the project in the first place?

We got the trains, now we need the planes, then maybe we can do the gondolas.

Not that I advocate building any more new schools, but isnt something like a new North High further up on the priority list than a decorative canal to nowhere?

Your thinking to logically. You have to think like the city and ways to blow money on useless stuff. Ways to bring more state aide and welfare cases to the city.
