The Lakewood Airport was originally owned by prominent Township lawyer Lawrence Bathgate. About thirty years ago when Bob Singer joined the committee, the failing airport was purchased in a controversial deal by the Township for over three million dollars, giving the owner a heady profit. The Township never put the airport to any use and it continued to lose money every year since. Now for some reason there is a push to use public money to expand the airport runway without any regard to what profit or benefit the town can gain from the project.
The project to reclaim some of the lost length of Lakewood Airport’s runway, has begun. With the full use of the runway, the airport would be able to accomodate up to 15 passenger seat jets.
Once again our town is focusing on projects that we do not benefit from, unless we are planning on parking our corporate jet here.
As always, those left in charge put the cart before the horse. The fantasy of having corporate jets flying into an airport surrounded by thousands of homes and schools, takes precedence to actually creating jobs, and bringing viable businesses to Lakewood.
And the most remarkable part of the whole thing is that they try to make the people of Lakewood believe that it is for their own good.
