Your Tuesday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
Salem city councilors unanimously approved a property purchase to expand parking at the Salem Municipal Airport, using an internal loan of $1.84 million from the city’s utility fund.
The funds will go to add 230 parking spaces, more than doubling airport capacity, to support increased activity with the return of commercial air service, with flights on Avelo Airlines set to begin Oct. 5. City staff expect the money would be recouped through parking fees and a possible sublease.
