I thought we were entering an age where public ownership was the goal. This seems like several steps backwards.

Yes we need to keep our airport. It's working well.
Airports are a very tricky but important land use, there are huge obstacles to creating or expanding them in any useful place. They tend to only end up in useful places at useful sizes somewhat organically, and when we have an airport in a useful place that's a useful size we need to protect that. It takes a massive investment to actually develop that infrastructure any further once it gets to that point, and anyone who would intentionally throw that public investment away should be sent skydiving without a parachute. Because they're usually crooked land developers.
Here's an interesting bit about this.
