What would you pay?
The leases (land rent) are set to almost double at ANE over
the next few years. Holy crap! What are they trying to do, weed out the riff-raff? What will that do to the airport? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

The idea is to get the leases up to "market" levels ...whatever that means, especially since it's 1940's 'set aside' airport land - all managed by the Metro Airports Commission. The rents, along with a bump from (gate) fees collected at MSP, used to cover local costs. These days, Northwest Airlines wants the lion's share of all 'gate fees' paid to MAC to be used for projects at the main airport, MSP. This leaves a difference to make up out at the six reliever (MAC) airports. Airports that used to get a percentage of those funds. Another factor in the rate hike is the Twin Cities Met Council, a gigantic non-elected 'region wide' government body - parks, sewers, buses, housing, etc. A good chunk of the cost increases at ANE are associated with Met Council rate hikes. http://www.metrocouncil.org/about/fa...MetCouncil.pdf Met Council ...'Who am I?
