In December of 2016 Committee and Council approved the Terminal Landscape project in the amount of $37,600.00.  The original budgeted amount was $108,000.00; however, due to favorable bidding and the use of volunteers to plant many of the trees, the Airport was able to return $60,380.00 in unused tax revenue to the City. Since that time it has been discovered that previous Airport administration had agreed to include a small section of ground between the Employee Parking Lot and the FedEx building in the landscaping project.  This area was not included in the original RFP.  The successful bidder has agreed to add this area for additional $600.00 in project cost.
