The Pottsville Republican reports that a majority of residents in North and East Union townships do not approve the proposed cargo airport in northern Schuykill County. The airport would also cover parts of Luzerne County south of Hazleton and parts of Carbon County.
A paper ballot poll on Tuesday showed that 162 people oppose the airport, while 59 support the proposed project.
Gladstone Partners is behind the economically and ecologically catastrophic project. Once constructed, the airport would be the size of JFK and Newark airports combined. This means that the seventh largest airport in the world would be located in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
