After extensive negotiation, The College of the Ozarks and Taney County have announced the takeover of the M. Graham Clark Airport by the county on July 31, 2005. Part of the arrangement is that the airport name shall remain as it is.
Currently the plan is for the county to have a board to oversee the daily operation of the airport, which may include hiring an FBO. It is planned that there will be flight training for the college and the public, as well as aircraft maintenance, fuel, and rental cars. Recognizing the important economic impact of the airport, the county plans to maximize the effectiveness and operations of the airport facility.
