Committee hears airport terminal update; restaurant tenant not yet secured
Summary
Committee received a brief update that operations at the new airport terminal have been "all positive," but staff said the county is still seeking a restaurant tenant and will return to the board when a tenant is identified.
On Tuesday, Sept. 2, the Public Works Committee received an update that operations at the airport's new terminal have been "all positive" but the county has not yet secured a restaurant tenant.
A staff member told the committee that activity at the new terminal had been positive. When asked about leasing the terminal restaurant, the staff member said the county is still seeking an operator and that one prospective operator, referenced by name, had declined.
The staff member said, "All positive as it relates to the new digs over at the airport," and added that officials were "still searching for a restaurant tour" (tenant). Asked whether a specific candidate would take the space, the staff member said, "Will it be Alexis Diana? No. Lehi has decided it's not it's not gonna work for him." The staff member said county representatives are meeting with interested parties and will bring any firm proposal back to the board for consideration.
The committee did not take any formal action on airport leasing at the meeting, and no lease terms, rental amounts, timelines or tenant names (beyond those mentioned) were approved. The transcript does not record a timeline for re-presentation to the committee beyond the staff remark that the item will be brought back when a candidate is identified.
