WILMINGTON, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio community is taking control of an airport abandoned by package delivery company DHL Express.
DHL is donating the Wilmington Air Park to officials in Clinton County near Cincinnati. The community hopes to attract new businesses to the site.
About 8,000 jobs have been lost at the airport since DHL announced in May 2008 that it was pulling out and moving operations to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Wilmington Mayor David Raizk is part of the community's redevelopment task force. He says businesses are interested in the air park, but it would be premature to talk about potential tenants.
Raizk says the former airport employees are highly skilled, and he hopes former DHL workers will get new jobs at the site.
