Your Local Election Headquarters: President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Greenville

Employees at Pitt-Greenville Airport have been busy preparing for President Trump’s rally at the airport. 

Airport executive director, Bill Hopper, said it’s all hands on-deck leading up to the visit. 

He said their number one priority is keeping visitors and employees safe and they will be taking all necessary COVID-19 precautions. 

He stated, “We’ll make sure that we do the preventative measures that we can just to make sure. And that’s with everybody you know you’ve got to assume that anybody that you come into contact with could have been exposed.”

Hopper said the exact details for Thursday’s rally are still in the works, but he expects the rally will take place on the airport ramp outside the terminal. 

People who drive by the airport every day should be prepared for heavier traffic and delays Thursday. 

WNCT will be covering the president’s rally and more all week long.
