Johns Creek begins groundwork to accommodate electric aircraft By JON WILCOX jon@appenmedia.com JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Johns Creek is conducting research into regulating advanced electrically powered aircraft, a technology that could become the next generation of air travel. At a March 30 work session, council members reviewed staff research into how the city might regulate and encourage the aircraft and their landing sites, which are known as vertiports. Councilman Bob Erramilli and other council members said they are excited with the possibilities and look forward to additional presentations and research. “I’m very glad we are getting a jump on this,” said Erramilli, who served as a pilot in the Indian Air Force. “This is fantastic.”
