Sanford City Commission Names Ball, Bowlin to Sanford Airport Authority Board to Oversee Orlando Sanford International Airport

 SANFORD, Fla. --- The Sanford City Commission recently appointed Sanford residents Tom Ball (top left photo) and Henry Bowlin (middle left photo) to four-year terms on the Sanford Airport Authority Board.

 Ball is a longtime area commercial real estate professional. Bowlin is an executive at Century Link.

 Larry Dale (lower right photo), president of Orlando Sanford International Airport, said Ball and Bowlin will replace William Miller, who served as a member of the Sanford Airport Authority Board for 18 years, and John Williams, a member of the board for eight years.

  “William Miller helped usher in a new era at Orlando Sanford International Airport,” Dale said.

 Miller played an instrumental role in the development of regular scheduled passenger service at the airport and construction of both airport passenger terminals, Dale explained.

Both Miller and Williams helped lead the effort to extend Runway 9R-27L and develop the airport’s parking garage, along with numerous other capital projects on the airfield and in the Airport Commerce Park, Dale said.
