Airport Authority discusses improvements to airport,

The Valdosta Airport Authority Board met Wednesday at its office in the
main terminal of the

Valdosta Regional Airport.

Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport Authority Valdosta Regional Airport is owned and operated by the Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport Authority. This six-member authority was established in 1987 and is comprised of three appointees from the city and three appointees from the county. The full-time staff of the Airport Authority is comprised of the executive director/airport manager and 5 additional staff members. The following personnel are members of the Airport Authority: Steve Everett – Chairman Wayne Edwards – Vice Chairman Nathaniel Haugabrook Dr. James Sinnott Anthony Payton Jane Shelton Jim Galloway – executive director/airport manager (229) 333-1833

The board reviewed several airport improvement projects in various stages
of completion — including a remedy to the drainage problem, a proposal
for a new Airport Rescue and Firefighting vehicle and new ARFF station
and the anticipated opening of the new Subway restaurant.

Yet another Authority.
This ones executive director, Jim Galloway,

who was appointed January 1st,
can sign contracts for it:

The proposal for a new ARFF vehicle and station, covered by AIP-28,
is complete and Galloway brought the contracts that were ready for
approval signatures.

“The way this contract is written is not where the mayor can sign it,
it’s where we can actually sign it,” explained Galloway.

Good thing the VDT was there.
