Just wanted to share my opinion on the proposed new airport in Portage County. I think it is a very bad idea and not needed. I surely applaud folks who “think big” for the future of our community, but this project does not fit that template. We already have underutilized airports in nearby Cleveland, Akron-Canton, Youngstown and Pittsburgh.
I would prefer and suggest our tax money be invested in our schools. We need better pay and equipment for our first responders, police and road crews. Our roads are in horrible shape. Our internet/broadband is a joke. I have the best internet I can purchase in the area, and it is just a few steps ahead of smoke signals.
