Chrisley has ascended to the position following the retirement of longtime head Rosemary Vassiliadis in September. Working with Vassiliadis over the past 10 years has prepared him to continue working on the department’s initiatives seamlessly, Chrisley said.
The Sun sat down with Chrisley to talk about the past and present states of air travel in Clark County, current and upcoming projects like the Southern Nevada Supplemental Airport, and his goals in this new role.
