THE AIRPORT MANAGER AND HIS NEW BEST FRIEND!
Sasquatch (the Jack Links mascot) and Jim Marquardt got acquainted during the Jack Links dedication for their new 840,000 sq ft production building to be built close to the Perry-Houston County Airport. The new facility, to be completed by the fall of 2023, will engender 800 local employees and should create a lot of corporate air traffic during the construction period (and hopefully after). Sasquatch mentioned that while he enjoyed the visit during April, he might just pass on visits during July and August. Welcome to our new neighbor!
