Airport hopes to land more business

Columbus officials are aiming for new businesses to come to the Aeroplex Commerce Center. To do that, Airport Director Brian Payne says they need to redevelop more than 60 acres of land.

The Columbus Redevelopment Commission this week approved a resolution to authorize the preparation of a subdivision plat for the area. The body approved spending $18,650 to hire Indianapolis-based Crawford, Murphy & Tilly Inc., which will help prepare a subdivision plat for the property. Once that is done, Payne says it will be easier to market and lease individual parcels.
