Federal officials weigh Lorain County airport site for office
West said federal officials favored locating the office at Lorain County airport and planned plans and rent estimates. GADO seeks 5 000 square feet plus 1 800 extra, with space leased to others to cut red tape. American Ship Building Co of Lorain would back bonds to construct the building and Ajax would likely build it. West noted FAA tasks could include a partial flight service station while keeping main service at Cleveland Hopkins. He also applied for a $50 000 state grant to match FAA funds for parallel runway plans at the airport.
