SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo entered into an agreement in 1973 to lease Toledo Express Airport to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority.

The Administration believes it is necessary to examine whether the city-owned airport is realizing its potential. As such, the Administration, in partnership with the Lucas County commissioners, has identified Campbell-Hill Aviation Group and KVA Consulting Co., to perform a study of various operational aspects at the airport.
