Default Brantford Airport Closure Questioned

Do you mean through community events, or economic spinoff, or
directly, or...?

I haven't actually read it--I searched briefly for it online but
couldn't find it. It may be somewhere in the federal archives if
they're available. However, there is information on the Brantford
Airport web site:

http://www.brantfordairport.ca/featu...tory_facts.php

....now it has that clause about land reverting back to the Crown.
However, I talked to someone a couple days ago who has been in on the
aviation scene for decades, and he said he remembers seeing the
agreement with his own eyes at some point, and that it stated the City
had to run the airport "in perpetuity." I've recently e-mailed the
Airport web site author about their source but I haven't heard back
yet. I'd like to see this thing for myself, for sure.

Hell Kevin, that airport has provided more money for the city than 99% of
the airports out there.

One thing i noticed you mentioned is the 1970 grant of the airport. Have you
read it? WHat are the terms?
