The Grand County Board of County Commissioners meeting on September 24, 2025, focused on significant developments regarding airport leases. The primary discussion centered on the termination of an existing lease and the approval of a new lease for Hangar 18.
Sean Mahorney, representing Greene County Airports, raised a question about the necessity of terminating the old lease before proceeding with a new one. He clarified that the old lease must be terminated to make the hangar available for leasing again. This process requires a separate motion, which was confirmed by airport manager Sean Ward.
The board unanimously approved the termination of the original lease with Tim Crane, allowing for the transition to a new lease. Following this, the commissioners moved to approve the new lease for Hangar 18 with Grand Aviation, which was also passed without opposition.
This meeting marks a crucial step in managing airport facilities, ensuring that Hangar 18 is effectively utilized under new management. The swift approval of both motions reflects the board's commitment to maintaining operational efficiency at the airport.
