ERIE — An outside study of the Erie Municipal Airport’s economic potential concluded that there are untapped opportunities to increase revenue, leading town leaders to make a controversial decision to nix an unused second runway.
The study, conducted for about $50,000 by Boyd Group International, concluded that the airport “represents an enormous economic asset and opportunity to the town.”
Erie Mayor Andrew Moore said the study gives the town concrete ideas on how to make the airport self-supporting so it does not need to be subsidized by the taxpayers — and how to potentially make it a revenue-generator.
