NSDRA was recently made aware that the private sale of the South Shore Regional Airport was not proceeding and there is now an opportunity for the NSDRA to purchase the airport at a reduced price to make it the permanent home of Greenfield Dragway.
Municipal Council will discuss the matter at its regular meeting on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, and if supported, will hold a Public Hearing about the sale on December 13,2022. A public hearing is a legal requirement of the municipality in order to sell it to us for less than the appraised cost. If Council agrees to the sale to us on December 13th, we could be the full owner of the property in
January 2023.
We also recognize the contribution that the South Shore Flying Club (SSFC) has made in operating the airport facility on behalf of the municipality for the past number of years. Once we obtain ownership, we will meet with the SSFC to work out future airport operational needs so that the two groups can continue to use the
airport safely and work out an arrangement on paying for its costs to
operate.
We would like to thank our racers, volunteers, spectators, and supporters for all their support and look forward to what the future brings. Be sure to join us November 19'' for our fall AGM and Awards ceremony as we hope to have more details about this fantastic news and a chance to celebrate the future of Greenfield Dragway together. See you on the 19th.
Sincerely,
NSDRA
