Slack urges regional airport authority for jet facility
Rep John M Slack Jr argues a regional jet airport needs a dedicated Airport Authority away from politics. He outlines financing, construction, and operation scales with service to a 75 mile radius, linking Kanawha Parkersburg Beckley Tri-State and Nicholas Greenbrier areas to Europe and the Americas. He calls for January legislative action to create the Regional Airport Authority backed by county bonds and broader regional representation.
