I forgot to mention... a few hiccups for would-be businesses looking at development by our airport:

There are multiple and complex federal restrictions on lands near an airport, including building heights, noise attenuation, and use of electronic equipment. These restrictions will force prospective businesses to do pre-consultation with the private operator of the airport and will exclude some businesses from being able to operate there.

The AEGD is at the headwaters of three watersheds. This puts extra restrictions on stormwater management. Businesses operating there will be required to follow special stormwater management procedures at their own cost (building ponds for example), putting a huge premium on the land development costs up there.

Does this make it competitive and attractive to new companies? Or will we never see this development and have to "take what we can get" in the end (sprawl homes)?
