Upcoming Telegram Editorial

After the Master Plan on Wednesday, again here will be the highlights as I see it:

• ORH should keep its Part 139 Certification and not downgrade to a GA airport
• Forecast a medium growth scenario (2010-- 161,000, 2015---215,372, 2020--- 288,524)
• upgrade terminal and air carrier support facilities
• RFP developable parcels of land
• upgrade GA and corporate facilities
• upgrade airfield infrastructure
• no recommendations as to how we should pay for any of this or how to lower the deficit
• no recommendation on an access road nor whether or not we should sell the airport..
• there will, however, be a footnote to continue negotiations with MassPort to continue the current operating agreement.

We will then read an Editorial in the Telegram later in the week stating that we are on track,congratulate everyone involved for doing a great job, and now we have a clear path from all these studies to achieve success.
