UNFINISHED BUSINESS Update on the Statesville Airport: Chairman Johnson said the airport, soon to be called the Statesville Regional Airport, was making progress and more grant funding had been received than was expected. He said that in addition, several items had come in under budget. Johnson said that if the funding situation continued to be positive, the city desired to expand the public parking area. He said that after debt service, approximately $200,000 might be received on an annual basis. Chairman Johnson said the airport would be a marketable economic development asset in the future, and there would be a net income almost immediately. Johnson said that a future airport request might be made in the future, but it would be far less than the initial capital outlay amount. He said that on September 21, 2004, aviation officials from Raleigh would be visiting the airport, and the board members and county attorney would be invited to attend.
