Comments about ‘Airport acquires 352 acres’

I think that this acquisition for Salt Lake City is great. I fly at least twice a month and if this is to decrease the delay on only half of my flights and therefore those other passengers, than i feel that this is a huge step for Utah and it's market.
Hopefully the runway can be put in a little quicker than 2025.

The long-range plan is to demolish the eastern half of the International Center and build a fourth runway that will extend into the Great Salt Lake wetlands. Also requires relocating part of the 80 freeway. It's so expensive it will probably never happen. The airport hasn't been able to get the reconstruction of what is a very obsolete terminal/concourse complex off the drawing board for more than a decade, so don't hold your breath.

It might be only another year or two before the general realization sets in that air travel is no longer a growth industry. The masses are going to be forced back to slower but much more fuel efficient ground transit as the permanent energy crisis begins to manifest itself. Goodbye Southwest, hello Greyhound and Amtrak.

Rocky Mountain power is currently attempting to buy up a new power corridor from the Idaho Border. The proposed route passes through Tremonton, and along the foothills from Brigham City To N. Salt Lake and ultimately to property bordering SLC International. I suspect that someone with insider knowledge of the corridor location at the the airport is going to be soon swimming in the dough from this deal. People don't just throw that kind of money without good prospects. Me thinks, the public has once again been left in the dark to yet another lucrative behind sealed doors deal.
