Thanks again gorja. I must be getting old as I didn't remember these resolutions - most likely because there was no reason to at the time.
The date is wrong on the one. It should be 7/21/03. At least others will know your data has been verified.
Thanks Lee for correcting my faux pas.
Game, set, match as far as the town board denying complicity in helping the airport receive state funding. But then again, even Lancaster Airport owner Tom Geles stated at a TB meeting early in 2009 that he found it onerous that the Town Board was in denial that it had helped make the airport expansion possible.
And they wonder why we don't place any trust in our local government. $12 million of taxpayer money pissed away on a project that brings little investment and revenue to the town. $28,000 in property taxes and
less than $10,000 in fuel taxes on over a hundred acres of property.
These pilots just stop in to fuel up on the low prices, then stop back to top the tank off on the way home. They don't call for a rental car and spend money in town.
Who really profited from this fiasco? Gee, one would have to think the airport, the parties selling the land at grossly inflated values and .....? $938,000 for less than 20 acres of E&E property? Who was asleep at the wheel at the FAA?
