“ When you think of airports making an economic impact in West Virginia , you traditionally think of the larger airports that bring people , goods and business in and out of the community . However , it is important that we do not forget the small general aviation airports that are home to many successful small businesses and act as the home for essential services such as medical evacuations ,” says Hill . “ There is a great deal of qualitative value in the businesses located at these small airports .”
Many new economic development initiatives at airports across the state are tied to expansions .
Yeager Airport is in the early stages of looking into a runway extension that would open more than 50 acres of land for potential aerospace-related economic development . Raleigh County Memorial Airport is developing more than 100 acres of site-ready pads for businesses to locate at the airport . CKB is planning to build a new terminal building and create an additional 50 acres of airport space for economic development .
The North Central West Virginia AeroTech Park — home to heavy hitters such as Aurora Flight Sciences , Engine and Airframe Solutions Worldwide , Engine Services Inc ., the Fixed Wing Army Aviation Training Site of the West Virginia Air National Guard , HQ Aero Management Inc ., KCI Aviation , Lockheed Martin , Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Regional Aircraft Services , NorthStar Technologies LLC and Pratt & Whitney — has grown significantly over the past several years .
“ There has been a diverse aerospace and aviation sector in North Central West Virginia for decades , and measuring our economic impact has made all the difference ,” says Tracy
