County attorney: state to allocate remaining $32 million to Griffin-Spalding Regional Airport; board to sign corrected sponsorship agreement
Summary
County attorney Stephanie Windham said Georgia corrected a sponsorship agreement to allocate remaining airport construction funds to the Griffin‑Spalding Regional Airport; she asked the board to approve the corrected agreement, and commissioners signaled readiness to execute the paperwork.
County Attorney Stephanie Windham briefed commissioners on a corrected sponsorship agreement that allocates remaining state funds to the Griffin‑Spalding Regional Airport.
Windham said the state of Georgia had directed that the remainder of funds already earmarked for the airport be allocated; she described the contract as approved “as to form” and asked the board to finalize approval so the airport authority can receive and use the funds. Windham said the only dollar number referenced is the $32,000,000 allocation from the state.
Commissioners indicated they were prepared to sign the contract. One commissioner said the county historically had not received such up-front state funding for the airport and urged prompt execution so the airport authority can proceed.
Discussion vs. action: the county attorney presented the corrected sponsorship agreement and asked for approval; commissioners agreed in discussion and signaled they would execute the documents, though the transcript did not capture a formal roll-call vote in the workshop minutes.
Ending: the county attorney and staff will finalize signature and execution steps to deliver the state allocation to the airport authority.
