Who will pay for the relocation of schools in order to accomodate the
nearby airport? (I assume you mean that the schools, rather than the
airport be relocated.)


The gubmint, who else?

Actually, the life expectancy of an airport is far longer than the life
expectancy of a school. My town has had the privilege of buying two new high
schools in the past thirty years. We only use one.


They built the high school football field where the old grass strip
airport was here at 4R7. "New" paved airport was built 3 or 4 miles
away. The grass strip prior to that was closer into town...
