…the airport is expected to generate additional take-offs and landings, without the need for a runway expansion. The new plan will allow the city to make transformational investment in the airport, including new hangars, a new control tower, improved taxiways and safety zone, new airport-related development opportunities, as well as the return of the Benjamin Davis Aerospace Academy to the airport grounds. Of course Detroit already has a state-of-the-art airport. The plan is to create “a state-of-the-art airport” according to Detroit officials.
takes too long and costs too much.Īnd when we allocate ‘money for infrastructure’ we do stupid things with it, like giving $100 million to a zombie airport near Detroit that hasn’t had commercial service in 20 years. Everyone knows how bad a structure New York LaGuardia was before it got a refresh (though $10 billion later we didn’t get more capacity from the prettier spaces). There’s this idea of ‘infrastructure’ and it’s romantic and there are high-profile projects. Johnstown, Pennsylavia’s airport which averaged about a dozen passengers a day before the pandemic got $5 million. Merrill Field in Alaska got nine years of expenses.
Devils Lake, North Dakota received 50 times what they spend in a year.
