Willow Run’s Big Leap: A Taxiway for Tomorrow
YPSILANTI, Mich., January 30, 2024: In a significant stride towards reinforcing Michigan’s aviation infrastructure, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell announced a hefty $2.2 million infusion for the construction of a new taxiway at Willow Run Airport. Funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT), this marks the third phase of a project that is not just laying down concrete but paving the way for economic upliftment.
More Than Just Pavement
This isn’t just about moving dirt around. The project involves relocating weather reporting equipment and FAA radio transmitters and receivers – a techno shuffle ensuring smoother operations. Dingell’s vision sees Willow Run not just as an airport but as a “critical juncture for commerce, cargo, and aviation.” It’s about keeping the local economy jet-propelled, supporting jobs, and enhancing the regional economic engine.
