I wish the city council would go with the flow on this project. Lets see the FAA, the Governor, the Mayor, all have given the project their blessings. This has been dragged out for too long. It sounds like RIAC has done its part and I'm sure will continue to do its part to satisfy the City of Warwick's request. Don't worry they will find a piece of land for the kids to play ball. I'm sure they will continue their environmental requirements otherwise they will be facing stiff fines. The EPA and DEM will be all over water pollution.

Please consider the people waiting for the airport to buy their homes once the project gets started. Also it will add to the safety of the airlines and residents by having that buffer zones.

Warwick needs to attract people to the city for revenue for our small businesses and big businesses a like. By putting Warwick on the map, combined with our great heritage we should attract people from all over the country and world for that matter to spend money here. I think tourism should be carefully considered for an increase in attraction to the city.

I propose a objective to start reviving and cleaning up this city. Vacant lots and buildings need to be monitored closely by minimum housing and action should be taken if it's an eye sore. The beaches should be kept clean. Fines for littering should be handed out. Parks should be kept clean and safe. Each summer it seems popular parks are getting trashed. I know in part it's the DEM and park rangers responsibility but perhaps the city can work closely with those agencies to make sure that people aren't trashing the parks. The only thing people understand are fines sad to say.

Yes we have all the big box stores on route 2 but they are everywhere. We need to do more if we are going to increase revenue for the business owners. Of course lower taxes would be nice as well.

I understand the city council is looking for exact dates from RIAC. I hope that RIAC cooperates with the city and gives the city council those re-assurances such as where the ball field will be moved and when. When the Main ave re-locating will begin, when the folks on the list for mandatory and volunteer buy back will get their offers etc... a time line needs to be presented to the council and made public.

I don't think our hard earned tax money should be spent on litigation against RIAC. Does the city really have the money to blow on litigation? Or, are they just going to raise our taxes for their cause?

Lets face the facts that the airport is never going to move to Quonset. The time has come and gone for that. In addition, the airport is not going anywhere. The people mover was built at a high cost. The parking garage is built on Jefferson Blvd. The trains are stopping and will continue to stop more frequently as the demand increases. The terminal is fairly new. All that is lacking is the longer runway to assure safety, and encourage all the airlines to do business in Warwick.

I was originally against the airport expansion but I do see the reasoning behind this project. Let's put our engineers and construction workers back to work building this project.
