Davidson County gives $1.2 million in tax surplus to airport

The County Commissioners approved $1.2 million to invest in the Davidson County Airport.

Most importantly, the funds can build additional hangars. The airport has a long waiting list for hangars, but no hangars are available. In other words, the more hangars the airport has, the more planes can come to the airport.

“Firstly, we are very excited;” said Karl Van Der Linden, manager of the Davidson County Airport and owner/director of Fly High Lexington. “For years and years, we have been trying to fund more hangars for the airport, therefore, we have a long waiting list for people who want to come to our airport, however we are completely full.”
