Not sure if the link below will work without a subscription, but the upshot is that Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, recently bought my home airport (20N / Kingston NY). He owns a 200 acre estate across the bridge & I suppose he wants rapid helicopter access. According to the town supervisor: "His people just came to the town and said, what are the problems and how do we fix them?" said Quigley. "So I'd call it a welcome development."
So there you go. Need to fix up your dilapidated apron and fuel farm? Just get a billionaire to move in down the street. Of course in a year he may decide he likes Hilton Head or St. Tropez better, and then we're out of luck again!
