minutes.
Future Planning for the H. L. "Sonny" Callahan Airport: Pam Caudill stated
the goals and strategies for the airport and also went over suggested plans
for a marketing plan for the airport to help attract new aviation related
businesses. Joe McEnerney then went over the financial overview of the
airport as well as the development of the east side of the airport, the
commercial development on the west side of the airport, and the issues
facing the Airport Authority. A group discussion including questions and
answers then followed.
