Engineering analysis as presented in Section IX clearly shows that modern aircraft will not be able to operate from the present facilities at Kanawha Airport. If these facilities are not up-dated there will be contraction of those existing industries dependent on good aviation oriented new industry. If the proposed project is successful, it will create a unique jet airport not found anywhere else in the United States in that it will be located within eight minutes of the downtown business district and there will be no jet aircraft noise over the city whatsoever. It is recommended that Federal funds be made available to Kanawha County, for the purpose of expanding and modernizing its airport facilities and creating thereby, a prepared industrial site for occupancy by one or more new industries not located in the area at the present time. The new site, because of its proximity to the airport, would offer special advantages to aviation oriented manufacturers of electrical machinery or electronic components.
