IMG

To date we have paid them $100,000 for a study and an additonal $100,000 to help us retain/recruit commerical air service. I can not find one mention of anything they are doing in the newspapers or monthly board minutes.

Can not help but think this $200,000 could have been spent better on Allegiant, a new website, a spokesman for the airport or FREE Parking. Peak travel time for ORH is the winter months so if IMG is going to come through with an airline, we will need to hear something shortly since it will take them some time to get up and running (marketing, etc) to catch this season.

At the same time the pitch from IMG to any of the airlines that they are talking to (we have no idea who)got a whole lot harder this past week.
