There was construction fencing around the church on Summer Street when they started working on an apartment project so it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being demolished. The selling price seems to be quite high just to do a tear down.

Tear downs and new builds are often less expensive than trying to bring an antiquated structure past its useful life up to current codes.
That said, there is an income o generating business on the first floor that might mitigate that (assuming that it meets defines, electric, plumbing, fat oil grease codes etc already

Looks like there will be a JetBlue schedule change at ORH on September 6th, 2023. It appears that as of that date there will only be one flight per day on JetBlue to JFK departing ORH at 8:20pm. It's on the JetBlue website. I decided to give ORH another shot and I found the schedule change while trying to check out fares from ORH to Fort Myers. With that new schedule there's no option to get to Fort Myers without overnighting at JFK so I'll once again be booking out of TF Green. Arriving at JFK at almost 9:30pm pretty much kills most connection opportunities so that will probably eventually be the end of that route. I could go on Delta but that wouldn't get me into Fort Myers until after 11pm so that was a definite NO also.
It's disappointing to see all the airports around us adding service while ORH remains stagnant. There's got to be a reason no airlines want to come here or improve the service they have here.

Wow. Losing that early morning JB flight to JFK in exchange for a useless late evening flight to nowhere would be a huge mistake.
I hope that it is just a mistaken schedule or interim only.
That early JFK flight always had at least a half full plane when I’ve taken it. It was the best way to get to NYC for business.

I just plugged in some different dates to see if this was a permanent change and it looks like the schedule will revert back to twice a day at the end of October.
Even though this change is only for two months I believe this will drive even more people away from using ORH.

Agreed ORH Fan. If people don’t believe that they can rely on the airport, they will simply not consider it given all of the credible alternatives that are available.
It’s a shame because ORH is so super convenient.

Flew home today from Puerto Rico and the flight from JFK was 70% full. Great to be able to go almost anywhere and land back at ORH. I hope there is some good news this year about expanding service. Also CapeAir is big there, they flew over our hotel all day. It would be nice to have them at least with seasonal service in the summer.
