Atlanta Forward: Transportation

A plane sits at Paulding County Airport in Dallas which officials are trying to expand for commercial air service, much to the chagrin of Delta and the city of Atlanta
Atlanta city officials recently sent a letter warning Paulding County they might go to court to block plans for commercial airline operations at Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport.

Today, county and city leaders argue their cases for and against a second commercial airport.
