Griffin Spalding
On Thursday morning Carla Sands, Acting Director GDOT Aviation informed Griffin Spalding County Airport Authority Chair Dick Morrow that the FAA in Washington, DC, had approved the new airport. The airport was also approved in the NPIAS (National Plan of Integrated Airport System). Written notification is being sent to the Griffin Spalding Airport Authority to be followed with an official “Memorandum of Understanding” authorizing funding and project initiation.
Upon receipt of our formal approval, the Griffin Spalding Airport Authority will authorize our consultant firm, MBaker Corp. to begin work on the Airport Layout and Design engineering plan. Concurrently, the Authority will initiate bond issuance to secure the funds for our required local 10% match. With those funds in hand, the Authority expects to be purchasing property by this coming January.
