Economic Potential is a hollow promise
Here is the template for the proposed replacement airport. See posts below to compare with what's already on the ground, and make your own evaluation of the true potential for economic development .
Executive Airport Still Awaits Development
You can barely find the outline of this 51-year-old airport among the verdant fields. Owned by Hamilton County Board of Aviation Commissioners, this airport lies only 14 miles NW of Indianapolis.

Fledgling airport displays little growth
Situated in rural Hendricks County, this young airport is only 13 miles West of Indianapolis. It is owned by the Indianapolis Airport Authority. In its six years of operation, little - if any - growth has developed around it. Photo: 2007
Mt. Comfort's Open Arms
Mt. Comfort Airport has been nestled in an attractive rural setting for the last 30 years. It is only 12 miles East of Indianapolis and is owned by the Indianapolis Airport Authority (IAA).
Friday, August 17, the IAA authorized more than $30,000 for a design study to rehabilitate Taxiway "A".

To make way for better economic success, Fishers jettisons airport
Indianapolis Metropolitan Airport (Fishers), owned by the Indianapolis Airport Authority, is 46 years old and 8 miles NE of Indianapolis. Blessed with a lucky confluence of I-69, 37 and Geist Reservoir, Fishers saw ballooning growth as Indianapolis sprawled north. Not only did the airport have little to do with the growth, it is actually a hindrance to Fishers' expansion. Surely if the airport were a keystone of their economic success, Fishers would fight to keep it. Instead, they want to be rid of it. No jobs worth keeping, here.Photo: 2007
