When we moved into our house, we knew that Centennial Airport was just a few miles away. A small, private airport, there are still the occasional private/business/charter jets that take off and land there, since it’s next to the Denver Tech Center, the largest employment hub in the region.
An ongoing legal fight has been going on between the Airport (supported by the local communities) and at least one company that wants to have regularly scheduled commercial flights into Centennial.
I’m certainly not in favor of such flights, but I’m also grown-up enough to realize that that’s one of the possible dangers of being near an airport.
Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has let stand an FAA ruling that would deny Centennial just under $2MM/yr in federal maintenance assistance if it doesn’t accept scheduled flights. The airport is considering its options, which could include trying to make up the money from local citizenry (which would truly be a case of folks putting their money where their ears are).
