NY: Residents Push Back Against Westchester Airport Privatization
WHITE PLAINS - Opponents of the county legislature’s push to privatize Westchester County Airport filled the gallery at Monday night’s meeting, imploring the 17-member body to leave the facility alone.
“Today the airport is operated as a non-profit,” said Jonathan Wong, a Purchase resident who stated there was no incentive for the county to grow the airport as it stands. “Privatization would change all that.”
