It was announced by Darrin Lautenschleger, Chairman of the Public Works Committee for New Philadelphia, that the location for the May 19, 2010 public hearing by his committee has been changed from City Hall to the pavilion at Tuscora Park. The meeting will concern itself with the expansion of the runway at the New Philadelphia airport. While no reason was given in the revised meeting notice, it is assumed that increased public interest in the possible taking of personal and business properties as recommended by the Airport Master Plan could be a factor. This meeting is open to the public and citizen attendance is encouraged. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m.
Of the options proposed by the Master Plan, Option 4 appears to be the plan of choice. Option 4 recommends relocation of the existing runway, a plan which would require residential and business property to be taken, by imminent domain if necessary, to complete the project. According to Option 4, access roads to the cemetery and Schoenbrunn Village would be closed. Part of the existing city cemetery could also be taken as part of the runway expansion plan. Also to be considered is the city's ability to pay its share of the millions of dollars cost of this project.
For further information, contact Mr. Lautenschleger or your city councilman.
