New Plan For Airport In Missouri
ST LOUIS AP A new plan surfaced Monday for building a second major St. Louis area airport in Missouri rather than across the Mississippi River near Waterloo. State airport engineer Ronald Moore said Missouri officials will propose a special St. Louis area airport district with tax powers to build and operate the project. He said voters in St. Louis City and St. Louis, St. Charles, Jefferson and Franklin counties would create the district and set a tax rate from five to ten cents. The plan envisions sites near Dardenne in central St. Charles County or at Smartt Field as alternatives to the Waterloo location, while St. Louis Mayor Alfonso Cervantes backs the Waterloo proposal. Moore warned Missouri could lose tens of millions in tax revenue and thousands of jobs if the Waterloo site is chosen. A $120 000 site study and financing proposals are expected soon.
