Gateway Airports Global Future Touted...

Gateway airports global future touted, from the Arizona Republic, reports that Williams Gateway Airport is not only a major player in the region's economy, it will likely acquire a global reputation as an international aerospace center, according to Barry Broome, president of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC). Broome made his statements at yesterday's East Valley Partnership meeting. He said the airport and its sprawling campus that is home to ASU Polytechnic and a growing number of businesses is on the radar screen of California investors and markets in Germany, China and Japan. As a reliever for Phoenix Sky Harbor, the number of flights and quality of service will climb as Pinal County grows, Broom said. "And Pinal County's future is probably tied to Williams Gateway more than they think," he added. More than 700,000 Valley residents live closer to Williams Gateway than they do to Phoenix Sky Harbor.
