The FAA is in the process of selecting six “test beds” in the United States to be used for the research, development, and implementation of NextGen. They’re scheduled to make their decision by mid-December. Needless to say, Watt and Rimanelli are aiming to establish City Airport, along with related facilities and organizations statewide, as a federal test bed. Beneficiaries include the Defense Corridor in Warren [[TARDEC and TACOM), Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township, Camp Grayling in northern Michigan, the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, and regional facilities like Oakland County International Airport, private industry, and universities, among others.


It would add diversification to the region.
