Against Minor II 6,000ft Change
Metro City Resolutions Against 6,000ft runway
Minor II Reliever Designation
Concerned Citizens of the North Metro (CCNM) website www.ccnm6.com
The CCNM is working closely with the ZeroExpansion group from Eden Prairie (Flying Cloud Airport) and we are happy that we are becoming a "metro-wide" group working on the MINOR airport "threat" from MAC, the Met Council, Anoka County, Key Air, etc. of changing the existing law that states that minor airports with runways NOT TO EXCEED 5,000 feet in length (these other entities are looking at changing runways for minor airports to 6,000 feet long).
What is key to our effort is that whenever multiple communities oppose something so strongly, you need to come up with an alternative.
We want to ask the Legislature to concentrate on long-term aviation/airport planning on a statewide basis; to stop saturating the Twin City area with Intermediate airport (runways 5,001 to 8,000 feet in length) and to look toward the NW (St. Cloud) the north (Duluth) or the south (Rochester) and designate those airports as the state's Intermediate airports (the same designation MAC has for the Metro area's Holman Field in Downtown St. Paul).
We will have more information on our "Alternative Suggestion" on our website soon.
Right now we are all very thankful to the cities that have minor airports in their midst for passing their City Resolutions opposing ANY change in current MINOR airport law (MS473.641 Subd.4).
