SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FAA is reviewing a request by the City of Griffin to release approximately .649 acres of aeronautical property at the Griffin-Spalding County Airport. The property consists of one parcel located adjacent to and north and west of the right of way at the intersection of SR 155 and Airport Road. This property is currently shown on the approved Airport Layout Plan as aeronautical use land; however, the property is currently not being used for aeronautical purposes, and the proposed use of this property is compatible with airport operations. The City will ultimately sell the property to the Georgia Department of Transportation who will utilize the property for purposes of right of way for both SR 155 and Airport Road, with proceeds of the sale providing funding for future airport development.

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 Griffin-Spalding County Airport.
