Three Cheers for Carroll's

Regional Airport

Last Thursday Carroll County's Regional Airport was recognized as the 2005 Airport of the Year by the Maryland Aviation Administration, at the 10th annual Maryland Regional Aviation Conference Dinner and Awards Ceremony in Hagerstown.

The regional airport has been taking shape since the 1970's, with the most recent addition, a runway able to accommodate 30,000-pound single-wheel weight aircraft, in 1994.

The airport is operated from its own enterprise fund, not through the county's general fund. Gross revenues for FY2006 are expected to reach nearly $2 million.

For more information, call Gary Horst at 410-386-2340.
