Airport motel plan may cost airport big penalties
The Williamson County Airport Authority approved a tentative pact with Fort Smith developers Richard and Rick Griffin to place a 40 to 50 unit motel on airport property. If sewer service fails, the authority pays Oxford Inns 850 a day for income deprivation, potentially 310 250 in penalties in a year. Griffin says the first year could yield that amount. Authority chair Robert Duncan hopes Herrin or Marion can provide sewer service.
