JET Task Force
The JET Task Force was created in April 2014 to build on one of our community's strongest assets, Port Columbus. Comprised of leaders from the business, economic development and transportation sectors, the task force will focus on how best to redefine our airport as an economic hub and the center of transportation for the region. Three working groups will focus on the areas of Economic Development, Regional Transportation and Air Service. The Task Force is working to issue a report and recommendations to the city and its regional project partners: the Columbus Regional Airport Authority and Franklin County.
JET Final Report
On February 25, 2015, the JET Task Force discussed and adopted the Final Report of Key Findings and Recommendations with addition of two recommendations as outlined in the JET Chair Memorandum. The Task Force also provided staff with several instructions to finalize and
circulate the report. Staff will execute these instructions in the coming weeks.
