The commission approved a farm rental contract leasing roughly 16 acres at the Henry County Airport to Clint Diggs from April 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2031, at a rate of $750 per acre, with tenant responsible for management and crop income.
On March 16 the Henry County Commission approved Resolution 5-3-26 to lease about 16 acres of county-owned land adjacent to the Henry County Airport to tenant Clint Diggs for the period April 1, 2026 through Dec. 31, 2031.
Under the contract, the tenant receives full management responsibility and all crop income; rent is specified as $750 per acre for the entire lease term, payable in five equal installments (including an initial payment due on execution).
