An airport board representative told the commissioners the proposed site is just north of Luke Tucker’s new hangar and east of the apron, with a 30-foot side setback between hangars. "This ground lease is for and 2 years for construction, and at which time when he obtains his certificate of occupancy, he will enter into his 25 year lease," the airport representative said, summarizing the lease timeline and conditions for converting to a long-term lease.
