Have you a reference for that? This would be terrific news indeed for a
field where our club has some planes based.

These are part of the standard grant assurances that are agreed to when an
airport accepts funds from the Airport Improvement Program. AOPA has a .pdf
document that covers this :

http://www.aopa.org/asn/airport_compliance.pdf

See page 48 under assurance #22 (Economic Nondiscrimination). It reads in
part :

"It will not exercise or grant any right or privilege which operates
to prevent any person, firm, or corporation operating aircraft
on the airport; from performing any services on its own
aircraft with its own employees (including, but not limited to
maintenance, repair, and fueling) that it may choose to perform."
