Lexington Kentucky Real Estate

The Scott County Georgetown Kentucky airport is getting a big makeover in preparation for the 2010 FEI Alltech World Equestrian Games. They are getting ready to begin on a $4 million expansion project and is expected to be completed by the time the 2010 WEG is here.

Some of the expansion projects include a new terminal building, as well as a runway ramp addition.

The contractor hasn’t been decided at this point in time. Bidding is set to let for this month March 2008, and the actual construction is set to start some time in the middle of the year 2008. There is no expectation that the construction will interfere with any of the Georgetown KY airport’s regularly scheduled flights or operations.

The World Equestrian Games in 2010 is expected to bring 200 more flights to the Lexington Kentucky area - and 60 of those daily flights are expected to go to the Georgetown Kentucky airport.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The airport is not prepared to deal with flights that may be carrying horses planning on coming to the WEG.

The location of the airport is approximately 10 miles from the Kentucky Horse Park.

The proximity of the Georgetown KY airport makes it an attractive option to those that may be concerned about the traffic surrounding the Lexington Kentucky airport.
