Greenwood FSS Building, 1967

Greenwood FSS (GWO), Mississippi, 1967
In 1967, the Greenwood Municipal Airport was slated to close. The city and county moved to relocate the airport to the abandoned Greenwood Army Air Field. For a period, both the Greenwood-Leflore Airport and Greenwood Municipal were in operation. The FAA began construction on a new FSS at Greenwood (GWO) in 1968. The facility was commissioned in 1969.  The AFSS was constructed in the mid 1980s and is located adjacent to the original FSS, which is now used by Airways Facility Service Support Center.
