		The expansion of one of the local airports introduces a feasible and less expensive means of providing the area residents with an efficient facility.

		Yeager Airport, at the center of West Virginia's commerce and travel, provides a convenient, sensible site for expansion without disturbing any of the peaceful areas around Charleston.
