ODOT says "no trespassing" to Creswell parachuters

Registerguard--

"CRESWELL - The Oregon Department of Transportation will post "no trespassing" signs today around state property long used as a parachute landing zone by two Creswell skydive companies. "

Eugene skydivers and Wright Brothers sky divers have long used the state-owned vacant parcel just east of the airfield as a skydive drops zone. However, ODOT canceled the permit this summer after Creswell failed to sign a revised contract for the use of the site.

the cancellation occurred over concerns from the Federal Aviation Administration about landing safety zones and over liability concerns from ODOT.

It's not like they are using the vacant lot for anything else. Probably just want a piece of the pie...I mean profit.
