The Transportation Committee suggests that the NMA take a position in favor of an airport in the Northern Metro Area and therefore have put together a policy statement on metro airport siting for the NMA. Four reasons why the Northern Metro Area should be considered as the site for a new metro airport facility are as follows: 1. The area still has several available sites which would accommodate the substantial acreage needs of an airport facility. 2 . Land in the Northern Metro Area is still reasonably priced. 3. Most of the potential Northern sites lie closer to the Metro population center that alternative sites in the other directions. 4. The local. governments,and most importantly, the - citizens of the Northern Metro Area are prepared to work hard to reconcile the various problems which will be caused by the siting of a facility of this kind.
