TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The city of Tallahassee took another step to expand business at its international airport.
City of Tallahassee commissioners authorized Wednesday during a commission meeting either the city manager or a designee to finalize negotiations and execute the necessary agreements with Burrell Aviation Tallahassee, LLC for the lease and development of airport property and facilities at the Tallahassee International Airport.
It is projected that the business venture at the airport will create 291 permanent jobs and over 250 temporary construction jobs during the development with a total economic impact exceeding $60 million.
