Preble County Commission Keeps Jetport Plan on Ice

Preble County commissioners again declined to join the Southwestern Ohio Regional Airport Authority. Joseph E. Lee, president, said there had been no new discussions and he wouldn’t change his mind unless a new proposal surfaced. Leonard L Duke, newly elected commissioner, suggested funding alternatives or keeping the status quo as concerns of cost linger. The county would likely face jetport timing around 1970, if revived. Homer Bacon favored rural planning and zoning funding instead.
