How will the airport impact the hospital and Lewiston golf course?
The funds used for the new airport are not General Fund dollars and cannot be spent on projects other than aviation. The Lewiston Park that has been suggested as an alternative place to spend funds is not a County property. However, the Community Services District that owns the park is eligible for recreation funding from proposition 40. The hospital, like County roads, can not use any aviation fund dollars. Likewise, the hospital can use funds from road funds.
