One of Florida’s Poorest Counties is getting a $300 Million Cargo Hub is GREAT News. Of all the things mentioned in the article as being an issue, what worries me more is, all Air Ports cost a LOT of Money to maintain, we have poured many $Billions of Dollars into our Airport well before the expansions which costs mega $Billions.
