The contractors that are working with the Blair County Airport Authority on a project to trim trees at a number of Martinsburg residences drew criticism from two authority members at a meeting Monday night. The trees are being trimmed because they are considered to be obstructions to airplane take-offs and landings on the airport’s north-south runway. Several authority members complained that the contractors are not only conducting outside appraisals of the property, but also are asking to be allowed inside the homes as part of their appraisals.
