Athens-Clarke County gets a $750,000 Small Community Air Service Development program grant: it’s money the County will use to try to bring commercial air service back to Athens-Ben Epps Airport. There is speculation that American Airlines might be interested in Athens.
There is an afternoon meeting of the Athens Airport Authority, 3 o'clock in the Flight Center at Athens-Ben Epps Airport.
From the Athens-Clarke Co government website…
The grant will be used to help recruit new passenger service to a southeast hub city from the airport. Athens-Ben Epps Airport was one of only 18 grant recipients out of 57 applicants and was the only grant recipient in Georgia.
