Article in todays papers that the PHL Airport
is looking into major expansion. That would
include moving the UPS facility to the other
side of the airport allowing another runway
while purchasing 72 residences in Tinicum along
with 10 buisness's. They hope to gain approval and
complete the project by 2020 / 2025. This is a
huge deal that if approved or occurs would allow
PHL to become not only a Int'l main stay but increase
its' appeal to become a dominant Int' Airport.
The fact that the airport is still city owned and
operated keeps them from claiming emminent
domain and forces the city to try to purchase the
real estate through willing sellers but if the airport
should become state owned or a port authority this
could change overnight.
We shall see but it was in the Phl papers this morning.
