Potential sponsors of new Maryland airport want to hear from pilots
Commissioners need to know if facility would be used
May 1 — Kent Co., Maryland, commissioners are nearing a decision on whether
or not to build a new general aviation airport and want to hear from
pilot/owners who would be interested in basing their aircraft there. AOPA has
strongly supported creation of a new general aviation (GA) airport ever since
Scheeler Field closed in 1996.
"This is a big deal," said AOPA Vice President of Airports Anne Esposito.
"It's a rare opportunity to build a new airport from scratch, and the
sponsors are actively seeking pilot input."
The new airport would be located between Worton and Chestertown, Md. It would
have a 4,200-foot paved runway (6-24) and would offer general aviation
services, fuel, hangars, and tiedowns.
If approved, the airport would take three to five years to complete.
If you would be interested in basing your aircraft at Kent County or would
like to lend support for the new airport, you are encouraged to write Kent
County Commissioners at: 400 High St, Chestertown, MD 21620, fax 410/778-7482
or e-mail <A HREF="mailto:kentcounty@xxxxxxxxxxx";>kentcounty@xxxxxxxxxxx</A>.
