After seven years of planning, and getting a collection started, the National Museum of Commercial Aviation now has a permanent place to call home.

The Clayton County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved, on Tuesday, a 50-year lease for the museum to be located on a 10-acre plot of land on Charles W. Grant Parkway, next to Interstate 75, in Forest Park. Museum officials will only have to pay $1 a year for the land, which was previously home to a Georgia Department of Transportation park-and-ride lot.
