Since FAA funded the Cherokee County Airport expansion ahead of schedule, we now have enough runway length (4,100′) to land private jets. It would have been a better PR move for the Auto Executives to fly into our newly paved runway in Ball Ground, GA and then drive up to Washington in their fuel-efficient automobiles. While we’re on this subject, it is worth noting that they already owned the private jet and they did bring lots of people with them. It probably would have cost more to fly them all commercial and/or drive to Washington. Either way, it was bad PR move to show up in a private jet.
