Hi Muskoka. There was encouraging news yesterday!
Your District Council chose to defer approvals to construct an unneeded $600,000 alternate grass runway to accommodate the request by an individual to construct a building on the existing more favourable grass runway. This new runway introduces serious hazards to aircraft and pilots which will decrease safety and increase liability. It also hobbles economic growth at this airport which is so important for Muskoka’s future.
I would like to thank the councillors that voted down this motion yesterday and hope they continue to lead more visionary decisions for the future of this airport and all of Muskoka.
Well done Councillors.
