Gainesville Airport Move Could Boost Area Economy
Friday, December 5th, 2014
Planes four times larger than previously allowed now can land at Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport in Gainesville, a move that some believe could boost economic development.
Following up on the results of a $25,000 study, the airport has raised its maximum weight load of aircraft to 100,000 pounds dual-wheel from 20,000 pounds single-wheel, airport manager Terry Palmer said Thursday.
