If additional commercial enterprises decide to locate in the county, the amount oh the tax rolls will be greatly increased and more employment opportunities will be offered in the county. At the same time, a well-run Airport could bring into the county additional revenues from airplane servicing and maintenance. Airport Authority It was,explained by Mr. Friend that a Purvey of the various methods of solving the problem had led the Aero club to the conclusion that a Municipal Airport Authority of McHenry County would offer. the best solution. The question of- the formation -of such an authority must be submitted to the voters for their approval and if an authority is authorized it would then have the power to acqUire land and proceed to activate an airport. Once such an airport were in operation, the project becomes eligible for both U.S. and state funds and such funds can cover a substantial part of the entire cost- of the project. The federal government agencies have only recently announced that it is their intention to make a larger share of their funds available to the secondary or feeder type airports, such as that proposed for the county. . The minimum amount of land necessary for the planned facility would be about 200 to 250 acres, and additional land should, be available at the site chosen for possible future expansion of the facility. The immediate requirement would be for runways about 3,000 to 3,200 feet long and at least one runway should be hard-topped for all-weather operations. Runway marker lights would also be needed on the hard runway to provide for night operations. The airport should be centrally located in the county but Should not be too near any city so as to assurfe that aircraft operations would not be disturbing to the populace. Every1 effort"" is to be made by the Aero club to obtain the necessary signaturfes^on petitions so that the question of tiie" Airport Authority can be presented to the voters on the ptimary ballot in April, 1956. Talks and films will be presented at other social, fraternal and business gatherings in the county during the- coming months.
