Feedback: To criticism of airport board

Manager of Columbia-Adair County Airport responds to criticism of airport board for not allowing access for a proposed fly-in community

My name is John Ford and I am the volunteer airport manager for the Columbia-Adair county airport. Plan A for the airport has and always will be for the lengthening of the runway. Industry will not locate in a town with a runway of 2600 feet such as we have.

FEEDBACK: Comments on industry recruitment

Writer says that that local airport's stand on development of "fly in" community hurt industrial recruitment

Editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com

After reading the article outlining industry recruting efforts, I couldn't help but recall the outright refusal of the airport authority to allow the development of the "fly in" community access gate system to be installed at no cost to the airport, and as a benefit to any industrial executives who may be looking for a new location.
