After the terrible merger between United and Continental Airlines, an entire large and very modern concourse was mothballed.

We once were a Continental hub, but that was canned, putting many folks out of work.

(On a side note, it has really foo-barred decent non-stop flights to and from Cleveland as well.)

That area of the airport could serve Amazon quite well in their quest for an International Airport.

The airport is centrally located as well to the major freeways in Cleveland.

And surely, Cleveland would love to see all of the jobs, as our major blue-collar industries are all but gone.

Our cost of living is quite low. In my travels around the country, I have been amazed at the difference

The rust-belt in general could use more jobs in the area.
