A presenter at a DeKalb County briefing said DeKalb Peachtree Airport (PDK) contributes more than $375,000,000 annually to the local economy and supports more than 2,600 jobs.
At the short presentation, the speaker also said the airport "generates more than $16,000,000 in tax revenue," using those figures to quantify the facility's fiscal footprint for the region. The presenter characterized PDK as the second-most active airport in Georgia and a key gateway for Metro Atlanta.
The briefing included operational details intended to support the economic claims: according to the presenters, PDK is home to more than 400 aircraft and "averages more than 550 operations daily." No formal financial reports or citations were presented during the remarks; the figures were offered by the presenters without independent documentation in the transcript.
The presentation concluded by framing the airport as both an economic engine and a community asset, noting that businesses and pilots rely on PDK for fueling, maintenance, training, and charter services.
There were no motions, votes, or formal actions recorded in the transcript related to these claims; the remarks were delivered as informational statements during the presentation.
