Hello,

I am thinking one of two places:

1. Somewhere out near Dulles. Literally, maybe 30-40 miles south. The area is growing at a massive amount still, and that's the boom area. 30 miles south of Dulles off of I-95 or the Beltway would be perfect.

2. Western Maryland, right on the MARC line. There's already a train line It's not too far from the beltway either. And, it's close to that other boom area in Western MD, and can serve as a regional hub for Harrisburg, Gettysburg, parts of WV, and the DC area. Believe it or not, that area is very good for business, and Citibank is relocating large amounts of operations to Hagerstown, MD. I know of several large construction firms out there, as well.

Reagan is too close to support re-opening. You just can't have jets that close to critical national security. It doesn't work. Look at other countries. Their airports are nowhere NEAR critical government functions, especially Tokyo, Seoul, and London.

Reagan is just TOO close. They'll build that Metro line now, and they'll get the tax dollars they need to do it.
