Mr. Ippel - Replied that it is difficult to identify the ~otential tax revenue <br />that would be generated in that area that would be consured by airport <br />develo~rent without knowing the type of businesses that would be developed; it <br />is hoped that the airport would attract high valuation businesses to the City <br />which is better than the types of businesses that are developing in that area <br />currently (low valuation business that consure a lot of area).
