Letter to the editor: Small businesses, not airport, should get free money

Tribune-Review

Regarding the article “Arnold Palmer airport, Adelphoi among Westmoreland recipients of $14M in state funds” (April 22, TribLIVE): Not long ago, the airport received $2.3 million in federal pandemic grant money, and it is asking the county for more. I don’t think it’s fair to small family businesses that a profitable business such as the airport would get free money while many small businesses didn’t make it through or are still suffering from the pandemic.

I understand that the airport is a major economic plus for the area, but does it deserve special treatment that others don’t?
