Federal Aviation Administration

 
Public Notice for a Change in Use of Aeronautical Property at the 
Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, MS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of Title 49, U.S.C. Section 47153(c), 
notice is being given that the FAA is considering a request from the 
Greenwood-Leflore Airport to change the use of an area on the airport 
to non-aeronautical use.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 23, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Comments on this notice may be mailed or delivered in 
triplicate to the FAA at the following address: Jackson Airports 
District Office, 100 West Cross Street, Suite B, Jackson, MS 39208-
2307.
    In addition, one copy of any comments submitted to the FAA must be 
mailed or delivered to Mr. Bardin Redditt, Airport Manager at the 
following address: 502-A Airport Road, Greenwood, MS 38930.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Orr, Program Manager, Jackson 
Airports District Office, 100 West Cross Street, Suite B, Jackson, MS 
39208-2307, (601) 664-9885. The request to change use may be reviewed 
in person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Greenwood-Leflore Airport in Greenwood, 
Mississippi, is considering a proposal for the expansion of the lease 
area of a commercial tenant presently located on the airport. The lease 
area of this tenant will increase from 12.82 acres to 28.71 acres. The 
business operation of this aeronautical tenant necessarily includes a 
non-aeronautical component. Of this 28.71 acres proposed for lease, 
7.50 acres of paved apron and adjacent unpaved areas will be changed to 
non-aeronautical use. The Airport has already partially offset the loss 
of this pavement by the recent construction of a new general aviation 
(GA) apron. This proposal will require the displacement of one 
aeronautical user. The Airport has provided an offer to this 
aeronautical user for the purchase of his facilities. Additional ramp 
area and space for hangar construction is available on the new GA 
apron. The increased revenue generated by the proposed lease expansion 
will be used for operations and maintenance and capital improvements on 
the Airport.
    Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office 
listed above under ``FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.'' In addition, 
any person may, upon request, inspect the request, notice and other 
documents germane to the request in person at the offices of the 
Greenwood-Leflore Airport, Greenwood, Mississippi.

    Issued in Jackson, Mississippi, on September 11, 2008.
Rans D. Black,
Manager, Jackson Airports District Office, Southern Region.
