These monies would not be spent if there was going to be a new regional airport.

I can just imagine $200 return taxi fares to a Sussex airport. Half the people missing the 5:30/6:00 a.m. flights in the winter because of weather. People dying on highways driving home long distances at 2 in the morning (hitting Moose, driving on icy highways). Although there are some cost benefits I'm sure, putting the airport in Sussex would make it miserable for the travellers.
