History

Their plan was to have a fly-in community, and, along with it, a place where pilots could taxi in along the grass strip runway and park their planes in a hangar on their own property. Two years later, they developed Green Village Residential Airpark by selling lots on 120 acre (0.4856232 km²) of their land just east of the airport in Hernando. The project encompasses a total of 150 acre (0.607029 km²) with the airport and subdivision as of 1998.
