Cummings Tours Leesburg Airport

Picture
On Thursday, September 10, I was invited to tour the Leesburg Airport.  I was given a tour and background by Dennis Boykin, Airport Commission Chair, and other members of the commission.  I learned a great deal about the incredible opportunity Leesburg has with the airport.  The airport is an asset to our town with its revenue generating capacity, as well as the airports economic development aspects.  Our airport sees individual owner planes, corporate jets, and flying school aircraft using the airport.  Our town, thanks to the focus of the Airport Commission, has grown a small airport for hobbyist into a professional, revenue generating operation.  

The Leesburg Airport staff and commission work with the Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Customs, and local pilots to keep those flying and our residents safe.  I was incredibly excited to hear about how the Airport staff went above and beyond to work with the Mayor, town council, and our elected representatives in Washington, D.C. and Richmond to get funding to help grow the Leesburg Airport.  

There are some incredible things happening at the airport.  As a candidate for town council and, if I win in November, as a councilman, I will work to continue growing our airport.  Additionally, I believe the staff work to generate revenue and funding from state and federal sources is a model for other departments in the town of Leesburg.  As the commonwealth's largest town, we need to go and get our fair share of funding from state and federal sources.
