Garden City previews airport deal with FedEx and a Home Depot
Garden City officials weigh a possible 10 year FedEx lease at the regional airport if costs drop to around four thousand monthly and a parking lot build out of two hundred by three hundred fifty feet for a fuel catering firm. The plan could bring more traffic, fuel fees and restaurant business, while raising concerns with the FBO lease. Chiefs consider incentives for Home Depot development across from Wal Mart on Kansas Avenue, with a total project cost estimated at one point five million dollars. The two deals may appear at the city commission meeting later this month or in December.
