FAA approved facility which affords Mingo County with:

(1) an improved quality of general aviation services

(2) a safer environment for aircraft operations

(3) hundreds of acres of developable land for aviation related and light- industrial businesses needed to generate job creation in Mingo County.

The park was just designated as AEROready™, which is a validation of the community and region for the aerospace industry.
