Airport Advisory Board <br />March 18, 2004 <br />Page 3 <br />available, and Mr. Vest stated that funds could be available if it was related to <br />industry; however, he cited the fact that many air bases have closed recently <br />all over the country, so the potential of development is very limited. Mr. <br />Abeles asked if the Chamber could help people get directed to the correct <br />people to help them find out what they need to do to build a hangar, to get the <br />right answers. Mr. Vest stated that the best potential for this airport is to get <br />other private hangars or company hangars built, and he advised that the <br />Board meet with Ms. Wright and Mr. Schenk to sort out any problems with the <br />lease policy. <br />Mr. Vest presented a proposal from Novaro Nichols with Old South Airplane <br />Works requesting property at the Airport for a lease to build a WWII airplane <br />museum. Mr. Vest stated that this was a tourism project, but they would not <br />be able to help him. <br />Mr. Abeles stated that the Board wanted to try to make it easier to build a <br />hangar at the Airport. Mr. Schenk stated that the leases we already have are <br />very similar to the requirements of the policy, so he thinks that some people <br />are basing their decisions on hearsay and not on correct information. Ms. <br />Wright handed out an existing form that people complete when they want to <br />build a hangar. Mr. Abeles stated that he would like to see something that is <br />more inviting. Ms. Wright advised that this form was something that would <br />be used further into the process, but she could create a new form that allows <br />people to express an interest and request that we contact them. The Board <br />requested that the Airport Director follow up with Mr. Nichols; research a past <br />request from Larry Ferguson for a hangar lease; and prepare an interest card <br />that people could take with them and subsequently return and ask to be <br />contacted if they were interested in leasing property for a hangar. <br />6. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 P.M. <br />Vi or Abeles, Chairman <br />Lisa Wright, Recd er <br />
