York-Trimble Airport Plan Recommended for Glouster Nelsonville
Civil Aeronautics Administration backs a Class I airport with 1800 to 2700 foot strips to serve Glouster and Nelsonville as part of its 1949 national program.

The program notes no funds allocation and lists 138 Ohio locations with total cost around 46.8 million dollars, sharing 21.9 million federal and 24.96 million local funds.
