Description:
On July 8, 2010 Gwinnett County issued a request for qualifications (RFQ) for firms interested in entering into a public-private partnership to operate Briscoe Field. The three firms that responded were Propeller Airports Briscoe Field, Inc., American Airports Corporation, and Gwinnett Airport, LLC. Plans to privatize may include expansion of the airport to accommodate commercial aircraft facilities at Briscoe Field; however, no decision has been made. Briscoe Field is approximately 22 miles from the Roswell city boundary. A local citizen has expressed concern regarding the potential impact this could have on East Roswell. City staff contacted Gwinnett County staff who indicated the next step in the process is to receive proposals from the respondents.
