History

Hernando Village Airpark opened in 1988 by Diane and Bill Hawks of Mississippi. Their plan was to have a fly-in community, and, along with it, a place where pilots could taxi in along the grass strip runway and park their planes in a hangar on their own property. Two years later, they developed Green Village Residential Airpark by selling lots on 120 acres (0.49 km2) of their land just east of the airport in Hernando. The project encompasses a total of 150 acres (0.61 km2) with the airport and subdivision as of 1998.[2]
