City considers leasing Peach Airport to Maryland firm
City officials discussed leasing the county Peach Airport to Airports, Inc. of Maryland, with CAA approval needed for the deal. The proposal covers capital improvements and maintenance costs financed by future rent, while Airports, Inc. seeks to oversee engineering work and plan for long term development. A grant of 350000 from the federal government was also reviewed as part of the arrangement. Local frost and bloom conditions raise optimism for an excellent peach crop this season, with cool nights and warm days ahead.
