Yes, GA airports generate revenue, but measured as
dollar/acre GA revenue is abysmal. Virtually any other economic use of airport land will produce a tremendous amount more of $$$ than GA. Well, not really. What happens is that the existance of DXR makes the existance of BID more valuable. DXR is providing positive economic impact to BID (and the rest of Block Island). Were DXR to be leveled and replaced with condos or some such, the economic benefit would go to the land developers, BUT IT WOULD COME OUT OF BID (and other places that have no say in the matter). It just =looks= like condos are a better deal, but that's because the benefit of one airport is spread out over all the other airports. It's the same argument against getting "corporate taxpayers" on the real estate rolls. More business developement should mean more town taxes coming from their corporate tax, and lessen the burden on homeowners. But it doesn't work that way. Graph the mill rates of towns vs their corporate development ratio, and you'll see (at least I've found in my area) that the more corporate developement, the HIGHER the mill rate. The EXPENSES to the town generated by businesses is diluted so it can't be seen, but it is juts as real.
