Airport proposal takes flight

There may be some turbulence along the way, but an airport in Oldham County is in the process of being cleared for take-off.

An airport board was created this year to meet state and federal regulations and to analyze the feasibility of such a venture. The board will oversee the project to the end, said Judge-Executive Duane Murner, regardless of whether the end comes when the project is abandoned or when an airport is built.

The airport would reside on 250 to 350 acres, located in the eastern part of Oldham County. Federal Aviation Administration restrictions dictate the airport must be a 30-minute drive from the nearest other airport, Bowman Field in Louisville. The single runway would be between 2,500 and 7,000 feet long.
