Presentation by GRA, Inc., a transportation- economics consulting firm

This presentation was an analysis of the feasibility of funding for, and the prospective viability of, a proposed airport in Shelby County. It was conducted by GRA, Inc., a transportation-economics consulting firm. While the study was conducted for Shelby County, there are remarkable similarities between an Oldham County Airport and a Shelby County Airport. So, NOA believes that the conclusions drawn are equally valid.
One issue that differs is the FAA requirement to locate any new airport at least 30 minutes away from other airports. Shelby County was not able to do this. Oldham County is able to do this only by locating airports in the eastern-most portion of the county. The potential airport locations at Blakemore, Gathright, and I-71 all encroach into neighboring counties.
