COSTA MESA : County Names Firm to Publicize Airport
County supervisors chose a Costa Mesa firm Tuesday to set up a public information campaign for the opening of the expanded John Wayne Airport in April.
Nelson Ralston Robb Communications will be responsible for informing the public about the airport’s new terminal, parking and on-site roadway system, and the expanded concession and airline services.
Annette McCluskey of the communications company said the county contract was for $106,000, of which the company planned to spend $20,000 in paid advertisements.
Supervisors Thomas F. Riley and Gaddi H. Vasquez abstained from the vote. Riley said the company had worked on his own campaign, and Vasquez said a former staffer now worked for one of the companies under consideration.
