USO lounge at Atlanta airport gets committee backing for five-year agreement

Atlanta’s Transportation Committee unanimously recommended a new five-year agreement with United Service Organizations, Inc. to operate and manage the USO lounge in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport’s domestic terminal. The service supports traveling military members and their dependents.

Ordinance 26-O-1528 proposes a retroactive Oct. 1, 2026, effective date. Its supporting text says the previous five-year term expires Sept. 30, 2026. The favorable committee result is a recommendation, not an executed agreement; the minutes list Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint.
