Breaking lease at airport could cost Frederick near 2 million
Frederick City may pay close to two million to break its lease with Frederick Aviation and sign a new 15 year deal. The plan shifts tie downs and hangar rentals to the city and funds management duties, with the cost covering revenue Frederick Aviation would have earned plus admin needs. The buyout would pass to taxpayers and airport users, though supporters argue it restores fair access to facilities.
