The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Cobb County Airport will continue to have air traffic control service even if the federal government shuts down amid a budget showdown in Washington, D.C.

In the event of a federal shutdown, Cobb will pay CI2 Aviation $20,118 monthly to maintain air traffic control at Cobb County Airport. County commissioners approved the contract Tuesday night.

Currently the Federal Aviation Administration contracts with the company to provide the service at the Cobb airport. But if the FAA is unable to do that because of a shutdown, the county will pick up the cost for 12 hours of service a day.
