Henry County has christened its airport with a new name and is moving forward with plans to expand the runway and improve the facility.
Tara Field is now known as Atlanta South Regional Airport.
Henry commissioners recently approved contracts with two engineering firms to finish numerous improvement projects over the next five years.
The runway extension design and construction project should be finished by 2014. The improvements will create more high-paying jobs. Henry paid $17.7 million for the airport previously owned by Clayton County.
