Supreme Court clears MAC airport expansion plan
The Minnesota Supreme Court rules the Metropolitan Airports Commission may continue its 30 million dollar Wold-Chamberlain expansion. The ruling overturns a 1958 lower court order and supports the master plan despite earlier litigation led by the Citizens Air Safety League. The MAC plans include maintenance bases, a new terminal, administration building, ponds and parking areas with costs rising from 23.5 million to about 30 million. The decision allows re advertisement for bids and continuation of land acquisitions with public hearings held on land deals but not on the master plan itself.
