Yeager Airport Update.

Things are going well at our airport. Our transportation committee led by Chair Mike Basile of Spilman,Thomas, and Battle has been working with Rick Atkinson, Executive Director of Yeager to continue to grow the desinations and flights in and out of Yeager. Most recently, we called upon our members to write letters of support for a grant application that could result in a direct flight from Yeager to one of two New York Airports.

Finally, an existing air carrier at Yeager has offered to analyze the possibility of adding a regional jet direct flight from Yeager to Detroit. The Transportation Committee helped to mobilize businesses, particularly those with frequent flights to Detroit to aid in this effort.
