LEBANON, Tenn. -- City leaders in Lebanon are pressing ahead with plans to expand the airport.

The mayor said adding a new terminal with a pilots' lobby will save the city money in the long run because the airport will be able to rent hangar space to individual companies.

As it stands now, the city's general fund supports the airport. Any money brought in through leasing would cut the expense.

The mayor said the improvements are needed in order to attract business.
