The new multi-tenant center built at Bradford airport is supposedly for aviation related industries. The whole "Free Enterprise Zone" "Free Duty" idea is great. I just wonder what relationship that a "Well Service Company" has to do with aviation, or the original intention. I understand the business was destroyed a few years ago on Big Shanty Rd. due to unfortunate circumstances. I also know that they were the first and only to be pre-approved for sewage hook- up to the airports new location months and months in advance(I don't know how that worked or any of it for that matter?) I just hope this multi-tenant facility is not just another "incubator, Lafferty, New Century Ceramics" related format where we have a big, pretty building, but we are giving tax write-offs and incentives for a handful of low paying jobs, and where only a "select few" end up with all the gravy fixin's

Delta Buys Refinery to Get Control of Fuel Costs

In that case a private company invested private funds in another private company and was not part of government sponsored enterprise program where taxes and financial assistance came into play. I don't think they'll be flying Fracking rigs in to do well service. I don't think they'll be flying all these oilfield execs to watch either.

I'd rather that the space be used and collect revenue through rent and then again through taxes on profit of the business and income tax on the employees rather than knowing that I paid my share of the taxes used to build it for it to sit vacant.

So the tax breaks given to Delta by the government were private?

If the place was built in the interest of promoting industries in the airline shipping related business and it couldn't get those to begin with then why was it built? I hate to throw a monkey wrench in the gears but the airport as it stands can hardly support a commercial airline's service(Not at all without EAS) I have flown on the so called connection flights(may I add that in most cases this is much more expensive than just getting a flight out of Buffalo) that are available.When I used the connection to Cleveland there were only a handful of commuters going either way. When coming home I was a little late due to flight delays and was forced to stay in Cleveland overnight( causing lodging costs and forced to miss work the next day) due to missing the last flight back to Bradford. I wonder sometimes if the only reason for congressional support to continue EAS at Bradford is so a few affluent people can have a nice, well kept airport to park there planes at. Great for flying their "Toys"!!! It's always nice to toss federally funded supplements at "Republican" boondoggles! We don't have money for education or infrastructure though!

One thing I may add in the "Delta Airline" thing.--- I believe our airport is not private and not looking for tax write offs for it's own self( Impossible I may think!) I think certain people are comparing apples to oranges. Don't go shopping for me please, I don't think I'd trust your interpretation of the list I gave you?

Republicans have been trying for years to end the program of subsidizing airports that don't get used. The Tea Party made it one of their platforms. Democrats continue the fight to fund. Ever hear of John Murtha? Guess not since he was a democrat made famous for his giving away money to non-essential airports under the EAS program.

Why would a business on airport property have to be aviation related anyway? There are many businesses across the country that are located on airport properties that have nothing to do with air shipping or travel. I know of a masonry company that is located on airport property so that the owner enjoy the lower lease fees, the easy access to the property and his desire to relax on occassion by sitting and watching airplanes operate. I have a client that built his powder coating business in an airport incubator. I've picked up take out food from a restaurant located just off the end of a runway. Up until 911 there was a roach coach that set up at the end of one of Orlando's runways. (well, just across the road but still on airport property). He fed the many people that liked to come and just sit and watch the planes.

So when you asked for the largest black dildo available you really meant what?

You know? I took you for being more intelligent than that "dildo thing"? I am ashamed of you! Grow up! What are you 15 0r 16 years old?

It was too easy and I could have resisted, in fact did resist, but came back and laughed my ass off. I've been waiting for intelligent conversation from you, still waiting. Sorry I dropped down to your level.

The small oil company that is moving in there had money invested in that from the start and they are the ONLY tenants of the facility. All others that invested money to have it built for the purpose of their use backed out. I thought that most of us here were opposed to "big oil". Why not make a big fuss about a small locally owned oil company using a space in a facility that they helped to pay for and will continue to pay rent in?
