Jetport dispute pits chamber against airport group
Mercer County Airport Authority chief Walter Burton said he was not consulted on a Princeton Mercer Chamber statement opposing jet service at the Mercer airport. The chamber's position argues Piedmont Airlines serves adequately and a full jetport is not currently feasible, while the airport authority plans a master study including jet-service projections and possible crosswind runway. Local chambers and the Greater Bluefield Chamber critique the Princeton chamber stance and promise further discussion on airport improvements and funding.
