GROWTH INSIDE THE FENCE COMES AT A COST


The Saratoga County Board of Supervisors will be holding a Public Hearing on Wednesday February 9, 2022 at 4:40pm @ 40 McMaster St. Ballston Spa, NY 12020.

North American Flight Services and Barth Aviation are seeking to expand hanger space by 30,500 sqft. at the Saratoga County Airport. The proposed new airport hangar facility and restoration of an existing hangar structure will cost an estimated $6 and $7 million dollars, and is to be PRIVATELY FUNDED.

Private funding doesn’t mean this won’t “cost” us all in the end.

Why would we be OK with a private organization consuming our tax paid public space for their own personal use? We shouldn’t have to convince the County otherwise. However, it appears they have forgotten a well-balanced economy should also consider sustainability, the community and the environment as a whole.

The scales are heavily tipped towards catering to the few at the Saratoga County airport and this needs to change. We can’t “afford” to ignore this.

We urge all of you to request a copy of the new 40 year lease by contacting the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, Therese Connolly (tconnolly@saratogacountyny.gov).

We trust and hope our economic growth does not destroy what has made Saratoga County such a beautiful place to live.
