There’s “a sense of urgency” to building up the Allen County Regional Airport. That’s according to Jonathon Goering, Thrive Allen County economic development director, who discussed the possibility with commissioners. He said although the county had pursued the possibility of such projects in the past, the moment to strike might be now. Goering noted that, for one, federal stimulus dollars may soon become available such that the developments can be made with little to no cost to taxpayers. And he added that the Kansas Department of Commerce is currently sending out site-selectors to help identify potential building places.
