The new Albert Whitted Airport will be over 1000 ft longer. It will cost over 35,000,000 to make this airport larger and safer. If it works out we will look at it in 10 years to add to it again.This is being billed as a improvement to the CHALLENGE area. This has been approved and is now going to public meetings. After the public meetings it will go to the City Council for final approval.

Airport should go/Vision 2020

Albert Whitted Airport serves the weathy and is unnecessary with St. Pete/Clearwater Airport so close.
It is a disgraceful use of valuable waterfront land which should be put to some better use--- like putting in park along the water and then some develpment of public consequence accross the street--- like allowing for expansion of USF. I cannot understand why this community allows the use of that land for a private ariport to continue!

Albert Whitted Airport

You're right. You will never understand.

so explain

No, I do not understand the use of this land. Please explain it to me, if you can find any defense at all that serves the common good of the people.
