History

• A county site selection study in 1976 identified the current location, and the airport was built between 1979 and 1981 on 435 acres, with Dow Chemical Company donating half of the land and the county buying the rest
• The original field had a 6,000 foot runway, parallel taxiway, airfield lighting and a precision instrument approach; a 1,000 foot runway extension followed in 1995 to accommodate Dow's larger aircraft, and the runway was reconstructed in grooved concrete in 2009
• Direct on-airport spending is estimated at 14.1 million dollars a year, more than 16,000 visitors support further payroll and output, and the airport accounts for 244 jobs and a total economic output of about 30.7 million dollars
