From what I hear, they will not be cheaping out on the airport. This project has been in consideration for over three years - ironically, a lack of funding at this point is one of the main issues this project isn't further ahead than it is.

Do they plan to have customs on site? That will be a big make or break for attracting executive traffic. Plus YYC already has some new FBO's getting built (Millionair), which will make the competition to go to a new field that much harder.
I could see it becoming Springbank east though, possibly with flight schools opting to move out of the very congested Springbank and practice area airspace for the wide open skies east of Calgary.
