As Clark County gets underway on a multibillion-dollar expansion and modernization of the seventh-busiest airport in North America, it will move forward with a new head of the Department of Aviation.
Rosemary Vassiliadis, who has overseen Harry Reid International Airport since 2013, announced Monday that she plans to retire in September as the department’s director. In a statement, the county said it was “working through the next steps to fill the director position.” It’s unclear if the county will conduct an outside search or hire from within.
In addition to Reid, Vassilidais oversees operations of the Henderson and North Las Vegas airports and two small aviation centers in Jean and Overton that support flight schools, private jet terminals and recreational activities.
