WILL GET YOU MORE AS THIS MOVES FORWARD. >> BUCKLE UP. A NEW IDEA COULD SOON BE ARRIVING IN CAPE CORAL, CHANGING THE WAY YOU TRAVEL. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE TO COME HERE BY PLANE THEY'VE GOT TO LAND AT RSW OF THE ATLANTA, NAPLES AND THAT'S NOT VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM. >> LEADERS ARE LOOKING TO LAND AN AIRPORT IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE CITY. BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE IDEA TO ACTUALLY TAKE FLIGHT TONIGHT? ABC SEVEN'S RACHEL WHALEN IS IN CAPE CORAL, FINDING OUT. >> TO BE CLEAR, THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. IT WAS ONE OF MANY CONSULTANTS CAME UP WITH. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIND WAYS TO GENERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH TO THE CITY OF CAPE CORAL. HIS IDEA WAS TO BUILD AN AIRPORT HERE BY BIRD SOAR ROAD AND KISMET PARKWAY. >> LIVE IN THE CAPE LONG ENOUGH AND YOU'LL GET USED TO CHANGE. WELL, YOU SEE THIS THE BACK. THEN IT WAS NOTHING BUT WOODS ALL AROUND. NOW, EXPERTS PREDICT THE CITY COULD REACH 370,000 RESIDENTS BY 2050, SURPASSING CITIES LIKE NEW ORLEANS AND CLEVELAND. YOU COULD BIGGER THAN CLEVELAND. YOU CAN HAVE SOMETHING. THAT'S WHY CONSULTANTS BRUCE HOKE IS PROPOSING THIS AND AIRPORT BY BURNT STORE ROAD AND KISMET PARKWAY. IT WOULD BE A CHARTER AND GENERAL AIRPORT WITH AN INDUSTRIAL PARK RECREATION FIELDS AND A SOLAR FARM. THE RUNWAY WOULD BE ABOUT 5,000 FEET LONG WITH ENOUGH SPACE TO FIT 120 AIRCRAFTS. AS I SEE IT AS A POSSIBILITY. I SEEN SOME OF THE HOUSE GO UP IN A BLINK NORTHWEST. NEIGHBORS SEEM ON BOARD WITH THE PLANS AS LONG AS IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT, IF THEY FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE IT NOT AN ULTA TRAFFIC IF THAT'S POSSIBLE. BUT REALLY HAVE NO OBJECTION TO IT. >> AS I THINK THAT WOULD BRING IN. >> YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S IT'S WHERE IT'S WHERE THIS NEIGHBORHOOD IS HEADED. SO WHY NOT? MEAN, BUT SOME PEOPLE BEGAN SOME, I HAVE NO PROBLEM IT. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE IT WITH THE NOISES AND EVERYTHING. MAYBE THEY MIGHT BE SOME CLINT COMPLAINS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WHEN THEY STAR ADJUSTING TO IT. >> THEY'LL BE FINE. YOU YESTERDAY'S MEETING, SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS SEEMED ENTRY TO THE HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT. BUT WHEN WE BRING IN WHETHER THEY'RE BIG BOXERS OR WHATEVER, YEAH, THEY'RE THEY'RE PEOPLE LIKE TO COME HERE BY PLANE. THEY'VE GOT A LAND AT RSW OF THE ATLANTA, NAPLES AND >> THAT'S NOT VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM RETHINK WE NEED A CORPORATE JET AIRPORT HERE BECAUSE WE REALLY ARE IN A LETTER, CORPORATE ENTITIES WITHIN THE CITY. BUT THAT WE HELPED TO ATTRACT THEM. >> ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS JUST AN IDEA. NO DECISIONS WERE MADE AT YESTERDAY'S MEETING. HOCKEY EVEN MENTION THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD TAKE UP TO 10 YEARS JUST TO GET APPROVED. I'M REPORTING IN NORTHWEST CAPE CORAL, RACHEL WHALEN, ABC, 7. >> IT'LL THANK YOU. WELL, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN PROPOSED IN CAPE CORAL FOR AN AIRPORT. LET'S GET YOU MORE. IN 2006 CITY LEADERS ARE CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF BUILDING A ONE IN THE AREA OFF WILMINGTON AND CHIQUITA BOULEVARD. THIS WAS JUST ONE LOCATION OPTION. IT WOULD LIKELY HAVE MEANT BUYING PRIVATE LANDS IN THE NORTH CAPE. >> COUNCIL DISCUSSED HIRING A CONSULTANT FOR
