What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Woodstock Municipal Airport operates out of Newbridge, where it has been since 1968. The airport was originally located on Island Park in Woodstock, but the Mactaquac Dam caused flooding that necessitated the move. The property currently includes 10 hangars, housing 30 aircraft, 18 of which are flown regularly.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The airport is a municipal facility that generates revenue for the town, though the amount is described as modest. Additionally, club members contribute tens of thousands of dollars annually to the airport through money and work, indicating significant private investment in the property.
