City County Airport Proposal Seeks 300 Acres Shared Use
Lenawee county supervisors heard Mayor Clarke Baldwin propose a joint city county airport with Adrian donating the current 17 field and 40 acres, the county buying 160 acres more, and state and federal aid possible after locally acquiring land. The plan envisions expanding the Adrian city airport to handle postwar air traffic and attract transcontinental airlines, with an estimated federal program of around 160000 for development and improvements if land is secured locally. A county airport committee was formed to survey and report by the March meeting.
