Runway and terminal upgrades at the Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport are expected to move forward when Gainesville City Council addresses funding of those projects at its meeting Tuesday. City Council is poised to approve a resolution that would commit the city to its share of a 50 percent local match to a $500,000 federal grant to upgrade its almost 75-year-old airport terminal building. Gainesville and Hall County governments would equally split the $250,000 local match required under the terms of the grant administered through the Appalachian Regional Commission.
