Davis reisgns from Fayette County Airport Authority board: Joseph A. Hardy Connellsville Airport (KVVS), Connellsville, Pennsylvania

The chairman of the Fayette County Airport Authority has given notice that he will resign the position, effective Friday.

Fred Davis announced his intention to resign in a fax sent to commissioner Chairman Al Ambrosini.

In the one-paragraph notice, Davis said he is leaving because of an “unanticipated increase in my off-airport obligations and the amount of time they would consume.”

Davis declined additional comment. He was named chairman after the previous chairman, Terry “Tuffy” Shallenberger, resigned in January from the authority that oversees the Joseph A. Hardy Connellsville Airport in Dunbar Township.

Noting Davis' lengthy involvement with the board, Ambrosini said his expertise will be missed.

“I certainly appreciate his contributions to all the progress that's been made out there, with the various projects,” Ambrosini said.

Ambrosini said commissioners will likely advertise the opening and begin interviewing possible replacements.

He said he would like to see commissioners vote on a replacement as early as next month.
