The Strategic Plan for Aerospace, Aviation and Flight, a summary that touched on
various programming issues and future growth at Ohio State University Airport,
is now available to the public. A local organization, however, is complaining
because a good portion of the report has been redacted, adding to speculation

National Business Aviation Association, October 6, 2011
A lead article in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper earlier this month broke the
news that the future of Ohio State University airport (OSU) is again in
question. University officials tried in the mid-1980s to sell the popular GA
airport to developers, but were stopped by the FAA. Review the article.
University spokeswoman Shelly Hoffman confirmed that discussions on the
airport’s future had started, but said that speculation on changes in ownership
or operation of the airport was premature.
