Today's Editorial

You got to laugh, here it is. . Can you say its a done deal. Wonder if the Airport Board Minutes has anything on this--I doubt it. Let us not forget past Editorials within the last 3 months:

  • December 12th, 2006, regarding to the Master Plans. "The action plan, scheduled to be issued in its final form early next year, charts a realistic course toward realizing the airport’s potential in the region’s air transportation network."
  • November 28th, 2006, regarding the Land RFP. "The initial request for development proposals is a significant step in the right direction."
Evidently the Land RFP was not a step in the right direction and the Master Plan realistic course toward realizing the airport's potential was not so realistic. Stewart lease is worth 79 million, ORH lease will be about 79 million short of that.

National Express turned Stewart into a valuable asset. Current management turned ORH into a liability.

"DOZENS OF DEVELOPERS HAD EXPRESSED INTEREST" in the RFP?

I'll swear that I just read in the past week that 18 parties, representing 15 potential bidders showed up at the RFP pre-bid conference. I guess all the other interested developers were not even interested enough to show up for the pre-bid conference?

Bill, can you locate that somewhere in the archives?
