Greenwood should have moved their airport two decades ago to the other side of I-65 …
There is still lots of farmland over there in Clark Twp. between County Line and Main St. and some of it is even inside Greenwood city limits.
No way to know the back story, but if the company was not given a heads up that seems a bit dysfunctional. The business owner may have ignored some signals, but you think there would be some type of conversation.
Moving an airport isn’t the same as moving a warehouse, for example. The City/Airport has received Federal Grant money over the years and there would be ramifications should those improvements paid for by the government were abandoned. That doesn’t take into account the environmental studies that would be required for a new cite. The best solution is to use what they have more efficiently. We, at Jeff Air, have direct fuel numbers from the fuel supplier for the airport. Not sure where they get the idea that we only account for 39% of the fuel sales.
In January 2011, we were welcomed to the airport. There was one aircraft parked on the ramp…very little fuel sales. We operate 18 aircraft now. It is our opinion that the City should work with those who have helped build the airport for the past 14 years.
