Common questions about Scholes International
Is Scholes a working airport for CRE purposes, or mostly tourism?+
Both. Energy / offshore operations are the economic engine; tourism and cruise-ship charters are the volume. Hangar space for both fixed-wing and rotor-wing is in demand, and the City of Galveston has been receptive to ground-lease build-to-suit proposals.
