It is the Land Around the Airport that has Potential Like None Other

   It is the land around the airport, not at Point of the Mountain, that is like none other. You cannot duplicate land around an airport. Once we have given the land to lesser uses, it will be gone, a resource wasted.
   Would be wonderful if we could only see the potential that land has, the opportunity it gives us. It should be developed as the entrance to our state, for as much as any other place, it is. It should be developed to cater to those who fly in and out.
   Alas, it seems it will be auctioned off cheaply like an old violin, so to speak. A prison? Additional industrial parks? I fear that is the direction the land is headed, unfortunately.
   Why not develop it to its potential? Why not develop it as the gateway to our state? For, that is what it is, whether we have the foresight to utilize it for that purpose or not.
