DELTA WILL OWE CITY LEASE PAYMENTS

DELTA AIRLINES WILL STILL OWE SIOUX CITY A LOT OF MONEY AFTER IT CLOSES ITS RESERVATION CENTER ON AUGUST 31ST.

CITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MARTY DOUGHERTY SAYS DELTA OWES ANOTHER FIVE YEARS OF LEASE PAYMENTS ON ITS FACILTY AT 4TH AND NEBRASKA STREETS:

CITY MANAGER PAUL ECKERT SAYS THE CITY EXPECTS DELTA TO FULFILL ITS CONTRACT:

THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE IF ANOTHER COMPANY MOVES IN TO THE FORMER DOWNTOWN JC PENNEY'S 2ND FLOOR FACILITY.

THE CITY HAS ALREADY BEEN CONTACTED BY ANOTHER COMPANY THAT IS INTERESTED IN THE BUILDING AND THE CURRENT DELTA WORKFORCE EMPLOYED THERE:

UNTIL THAT HAPPENS, DELTA IS OBLIGATED TO PAY TAXES AND LEASE PAYMENTS THROUGH NOVEMBER OF 2017.
