  1. A 35-post thread announced a Charlevoix City Council discussion of a proposed $3 million terminal and included a statement from an airport steering-committee participant that the schematic design phase had been approved and was moving to FAA funding review. The thread contains conflicting participant claims about the terminal and costs; it is useful context for airport planning but does not establish project completion or Beaver Island's financial liability.
