Study Critical of Airport Proposal Submitted to Fiscal Court
- Filed under news
On 20 May, opponents of the proposed airport submitted to Fiscal Court a formal analysis of the project. GRA, Incorporated, a consulting firm specializing in transportation issues, performed the analysis. This firm had earlier been employed in the 2005 fight to stop construction of a Shelby County airport. The Spencer County study reviews the economic realities of the proposed airport: competitiveness with existing Kentucky airports, recurring operational expenses, eligibility for FAA funding, etc. It also discusses the reasonableness of ENTRAN’s estimates of the number of based aircraft the facility would attract. The GRA review may be found on the Resources page.

Fiscal Court Fails Farmers
- Filed under news
At its 18 February meeting, the Fiscal Court failed to pass a resolution opposing the use of eminent domain for the construction of an airport. (See Resources page.) Magistrate Dave Goodlett made a motion to adopt the resolution, but none of the other attending magistrates - H. Judd, J. Riley, B. Drury, and D. Henry - would second the motion. The lack of a second squashed the resolution.
