The Airport Administration needs approval to for the City’s Purchasing Director to authorize a bidding and design process. Should the Committee authorize the bidding process donated and approved funds would be deposited into 504-1810-433-38-42.

Acquiring a new sign would meet one of the Airport Board’s primary goals and it would assist with efforts to more professionally brand and market the airport.
