The future of the Owen Sound Billy Bishop Regional Airport is up in the air.
Owen Sound Council has created a special committee to look at the facility and determine its future.
Councillor Bill Twaddle is one of the committee members.
He says everything will be considered including shutting down the facility to selling it, and everything in between.
He says that could include some form of co operative ownership to forming a partnership with another party or leasing it.
Twaddle says it costs the city about 100 thousand dollars a year to operate the airport and with a 400 thousand dollar provincial funding cut to the city coming this year, they have to try and develop a plan to make the airport more sustainable.
He says another concern is that the facility will need more than two million dollars in upgrades over the next few years, including re paving the runway.
Twaddle says the City is looking for savings and perhaps different sources of revenue generation for the airport.
He says Council has given the committee a deadline of June to try and come up with some recommendations about how to develop a viable economic model for the airport.
Twaddle says the committee also will work with city hall staff, airport users and tenants about what should be done with the facility.
