Daley is also attempting to justify the city's possible misuse of
$1.49 million in federal grants and passenger facility charges to tear
up Meigs. The mayor claimed that the city, which leased the land for
Meigs Field from the Chicago Park District, "lost its lease" and had
no choice but to close the airport. And because the city could no
longer use the land as an airport, it was obligated to restore the
property to its original condition.


Northerly Island is man-made. Restoration to it's original condition would
require it to be removed completely.
