Vote you opinion to keep KXLL Open

[AdamZ]

Vote to save an airport, well not actually but you can register your opinion as to whether the Lehigh Northampton Airport Authority should close Queen City Airport a great GA field just north of here. The main airport KABE Lehigh Valley Airport is a great class C field and Queen City is its smaller cousin but a signiricant GA field with perhaps 300 operations a day. AirNav says about 150 but others have suggested higher There is some controversy regarding closing Queen City to pay for Debt the authority incurred to expand KABE.

The local paper is taking a poll as to whether the Authority should close Queen City. Here is a link to the Article and poll. Please VOTE NO!

"You're putting taxpayers at risk by not paying attention to (LVIA) and by promoting general aviation, which is not the purpose of this authority," Bethlehem area resident Glenn Miller said.
