The City Council recently approved a big property tax break for aircraft, from $2.10 per $100 of assessed value to 50 cents per $100 of valuation.
City Manager Jim Bourey asked the council to approve the tax break in the hopes of attracting "two major economic development projects" to the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport.
After that story ran, a reader called to ask who owns planes there today. For that reader (and anyone else who may be wondering) here is the list of businesses that own planes there, courtesy of airport spokeswoman Jessica Wharton:
•Rick Aviation, 23 planes
•Tempus Jet Centers, LLC, 17 planes
•Atlantic Aviation, 9 planes
•L-3 Communications Corp., 8 planes
•Falwell Aviation dba Freedom Aviation, 7 planes
•W.M. Jordan Co., 3 planes
•Tidewater Flying Club, 3 planes
•Smithfield Foods, Inc., 2 planes
•Liebherr America, 1 plane
•Newport News School Board leases a hangar but has no plane there now.
