A plan implemented last year to offset the city and county tax burden on airplane owners at Pitt-Greenville (N.C.) Airport has attracted more aircraft owners to the airport. The Greenville City Council and Pitt County Board of Commissioners each unanimously voted to continue funding this year for a stimulus plan that provides about $150,000 in credits to aircraft owners. The two governments will split the cost equally.

Last year, the two governments gave the airport a total of $108,568 to pass on to airplane owners in the form of credits that could be used to pay for rent or other airport services. The airport also reduced the price of jet fuel.
