Council approves airport intergovernmental agreements to support operations and economic development
Summary
Council voted July 28 to approve intergovernmental agreements with the Columbus Airport Commission and Development Authority to fund airport economic development and operations; airport officials outlined plans for staffing, infrastructure improvements and requested a work session to discuss a 30/96/12‑month plan.
Council approved two intergovernmental agreements with the Columbus Airport Commission and the Development Authority to support the airport’s economic development activities and operations. The approvals were taken by voice vote after a motion and second.
Airport Commission representatives thanked the council for the support and said the agreements will fund personnel and infrastructure initiatives intended to grow airport activity. One commission representative said, "We are excited. We are going from status quo to grow at this airport," and asked the council to schedule a work session to review a one‑page handout describing a 30‑, 96‑ and 12‑month plan for initiatives and personnel. Councilors agreed to follow up and to set a session when schedules permit.
The agreements were approved along with other routine business; no opposition was recorded in the meeting minutes on these items.
