There is hope for long-suffering residents in Tinicum who have been living under the shroud of losing their homes to more expansion at Philadelphia International Airport.
Kathleen Carey reports that Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter is proposing a new plan, which would give the city and airport the expansion it wants, but not need to take more than 70 homes in its next-door neighbor in Tinicum.
The new plan would include a new location for the UPS plant, which under the original plan was to move to the site where 72 homes and 80 businesses now sit.
The good news is that the homes might be saved. The bad news is that they likely will have an airport runway for their new back yard neighbor.
Stay tuned as we get more reaction to the plan today.
