1930 Map of the Proposed Norwood Canton Metro Airport

Work on the new Norwood Airport started with much activity yesterday morning, when two steam shovels began operations and a fleet of trucks were filling the large stretch of meadow land, off Neponset St. Many citizens, engineers and aviators were present when the ground was broken. After the proposed layout was shown by Robert S. Fogg, aeronautical adviser of the airport, a luncheon was served.
