Federal stimulus money could help Allen County make improvements to the airport, Thrive’s economic development director says. The county should put together a master plan to take advantage of such opportunities, Jonathon Goering says.

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.
