Gainesville officials didn’t have to look far to find a new manager for Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport. Lisa Poole has taken over that role after helping previous manager Terry Palmer since March 2016 with day-to-day operations at the Gainesville airport. Palmer left the airport in August after five years on the job.
