federal aid for development of

cost of acquiring land, prepare

and navlgational aids. which
would not be needed in Farm

He said the main disadvantage
with the present airport prop

the railway underpass, water

Council expressed interest in
developing another site also be-
cause of an option on the airport
property held by the Farmville
Area Development Corporation.
The present airport property is
considered ideal for industrial
development, and according to
Col. Parkinson another site for
the airport would be advisable
from a technical standpoint.
In addition to federal aid ior

will participate up to about 3
