Airport Task Force
The Airport Task Force was commissioned in October, 2019 to provide recommendations to the County Executive regarding the Wilmington Airport, which is owned by New Castle County and managed by the Delaware River & Bay authority under a 30-year lease. The Task Force will carefully review the assets of the airport and scrutinize the wide variety of options for the airport of the future, in preparation for a June, 2020 deadline to notify the DRBA of any intent to renegotiate or terminate the lease.
