San Angelo Searching for Airport Director

 

SAN ANGELO, TX -- (Press Release) City management is considering how best to fill a vacancy in the airport director’s post following the resignation of Luis Elguezabal.

Elguezabal’s last day as airport director was Friday. He has served in the post 11 years. Deputy Director Mitch Sprunger will manage the airport in the interim until a new director is named.
