Bluegrass Station is a state-owned industrial “airpark’s” that serves the U.S. military.
The $320 million -plus, 2,000-acre proposal to expand the airpark's operation could force some residents to leave their beloved property.
The budget faces a long road to final passage before the state legislature adjourns on April 15 .
A runway would allow the facility to land and service fixed-wing aircraft, not just helicopters.
The most recent plan involves a 2,000-acre expansion to the 780-acre Bluegrass Station .
The $55 million in the budget proposal is slated to cover land acquisition, a process that could take 12-72 months .
If the project gets final passage, information would be gathered from private industry to shape a Request for Proposals.
Then the details of what the state pays for versus a private partner, such as Lockheed Martin , might pay for would be hashed out.
Still, taxpayer money has already been spent on the project.
