The Gwinnett County Commission is looking at an offer to privatize Briscoe Field. Currently, the county owns and runs the airpost, near Lawrenceville, off GA316. It has an operating budget of about $1,000,000/year. All of the money generated in fees and leases have to be plowed back into the budget for the airfield.
If it was leased out to a private entity, the company leasing the airfeild would be responsible for all costs, while at the same time they would be paying the county for the privilege. So, instead of a budget expenditure of just over $1m, there would be a payment... although we don't know the amount of that payment yet.
