It’s all about caring for Mom
At every milestone of my life I felt my mother’s eyes light up.
And now that I have a family of my own I know what it means
to be a Mom. So when my Mom needed daily help with nor
mal activities of living we chose The Hallmark® Buckhead. The
personal comfort, care and levels of service provided are up to
Mom’s high standards - and mine, too. Now when I see Mom’s
eyes light up I know it’s because she feels at home.

DeKalb-Peachtree Airport
building new hangars
BK DAN WHISENHUNT

Construction of more than 50 new
hangars at the DeKalb-Peachtree Air
port is under way, the airport director
says.
“Broke ground on the hangar project
last week,” PDK Director Mike Van Wie
told members of the Buckhead Business
Association on March 28.
Van Wie said the hangar project will
cost more than the
original $5 million
budget because of
federal environ
mental regulations.
Total construc
tion costs will be
around $8.3 mil
lion, he said.
The airport di
rector said there
will be an official
groundbreaking
ceremony in April.
During his re
marks, Van Wie
talked about the
economic benefits
of general aviation.
PDK provides gen
eral aviation servic
es, meaning it does not handle commer
cial or freight traffic.
The airport, located on Chamblee
Tucker Road, is the second busiest air
port in Georgia after Atlanta’s Harts-
field-Jackson International Airport.
“We’re a general aviation reliever air
port,” Van Wie said. “That reliever des
ignation is important to us. We relieve
Hartsfield of the business jets, the Cess
na 172s, the prop planes. That reliever
status qualifies us for a separate pool of

administration has been
beating up general aviation
at every opportunity.

federal money that’s available for capital
improvement.”
He said the airport brings in $39.9
million in tax revenue to DeKalb Coun
ty and traffic at the airport creates 1,834
jobs.
Van Wie said the airport has felt little
impact from the federal government’s se
questration, a series of automatic feder
al budget cuts that
began in March.
| He said PDK air
traffic control
lers are federal em
ployees while oth
er Georgia airports
use contractors for
those jobs.
While PDK re
ceives federal mon
ey for improve
ment projects and
air traffic control
lers, Van Wie said
the current presi
dent isn’t a friend
of general aviation.
Van Wie out
lined the “No
Plane, No Gain”
advocacy program, a joint effort of the
National Business Aviation Associa
tion and the General Aviation Man
ufacturers Association. The group has
taken issue with President Obama’s
criticism of corporate jets as unneces
sary luxuries.
“The current administration has been
beating up general aviation at every op
portunity,” Van Wie said. “The ‘No
Plane, No Gain’ program started in de
fense of our industry.”
