HANNIBAL â In an effort to better utilize Hannibal Regional Airport, as well as other city-owned land that is located near the airport, the city and board of public works are pursuing the development of an airport business plan.
âWe have been working on this for quite some time. There have been numerous meetings,â said Andy Dorian, the cityâs director of central services, during the April 6 meeting of the Hannibal City Council.
According to Dorian, the plan will also include the Lakeside Technology Industrial Park that is located near the intersection of Highway MM and Shinn Lane in western Hannibal.
HANNIBAL â With an increase in the number of visitors to Hannibal already occurring, along with group/convention inquiries also on the rise, the Hannibal Convention and Visitors Bureau finds itself in need of additional staff. During Tuesday nightâs meeting of the Hannibal City Council first reading was given a request from the HCVB to fill two positions.
Gail Bryant, director of the HCVB, intends to hire one part-time associate at the Visitors Center and a full-time sales manager, who will provide services to the increase in visitation, inquiries and bookings.
According to Bryant, staffing was reduced at the HCVB a year ago.
