The Clarksville-Montgomery County Regional Airport could have a new manager as early as next month, the Airport Authority announced Wednesday night.
Committee Chair Ron Whitford said he expects the board to have a recommendation from Daniel Prather, a Middle Tennessee State aeronautic professor whose consulting firm, Prather Airport Solutions, is in charge of the search, as well as the long-term plan at Outlaw Field. Whitford said interim manager John Patterson, who took over last month when after John Ferguson’s resignation, is doing a great job so far and could have an advantage over other applicants.
Earlier this week, Prather said he already has started the process of contacting some applicants from a previous search he did for a different Tennessee airport. Because of the state’s complex laws for block grants and other issues, he said the search will be limited to those with experience at airports in Tennessee.
Prather said he expects to have a list of his top three candidates ready by mid-November. The committee could then vote to approve a new manager at its Nov. 16 meeting.
