CULLMAN, Ala. – The Cullman County Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May 21, approved plans for engineering services for the reconstruction of the apron and hangars to be constructed on a new taxiway at Cullman Regional Airport.
Airport Director Ben Harrison said to the commission, “What we’re asking you for is the engineering services and design on this project,” Said Harrison, “The reason we’re trying to do this right now is we don’t want to start digging in late September or late October. We are afraid that three-four month project would turn into a six-seven month project.”
