Henry County District II Commissioner Dee Clemmons, along with county officials and leadership, held a groundbreaking ceremony for the new replacement of the Atlanta Speedway Airport Terminal Building today.

The new 4,502 square-foot facility will include a covered drive under drop-off, large lobby area with service counter, a conference room, a break room, a pilot’s lounge with 24/7 access, outdoor covered patio, and staff offices.

During the groundbreaking, Clemmons thanked those involved for their participation and support.
“So, we’re looking forward to the day that we get to walk in and cut the ribbon on this new FBO. But today it begins, and the process starts today. Thank you to everybody that participated,” said Clemmons. “Thank you to our Chair and our Board because none of this would be possible if the Board didn’t agree that this was necessary in Henry County. It is the beginning and I ask everybody to look out for the next phase of having aircraft rental right here in Henry County.”

Made possible under the SPLOST IV initiative, the project budget is $2,261,193 and will be constructed by J.R. Bowman Construction Co. of McDonough, GA. The project engineer is Croy Engineering, LLC of Marietta, GA and the architect is Bill Howell with the Howell Group Inc. of Marietta, GA.

Construction of phase one of the Atlanta Speedway Airport Terminal Building is expected to be completed by March 2022 and phase two, which includes ramp area improvements, is expected to be complete by June 2022.
