Capital Region International Airport Awarded

Economic Development Grant

he federal Economic Development Administration
(EDA) has announced that the Capital Region
TAirport Authority (CRAA) has been awarded a $3.6
million grant for the Capital Region International Airport
(LAN) site readiness development project for water, sewer,
and utility infrastructure upgrades to spur economic
growth at LAN. The grant is funded by the American
Rescue Plan and EDA’s $300 million Coal Communities
Commitment.

The site readiness development project will create build-
ready sites on a 47-acre parcel of undeveloped land at
LAN, near the existing Port Lansing Global Logistics
Warehouse. It will include the installation of sanitary
sewer, water main, and storm sewer. It will also include
an extension of three-phase electrical infrastructure
and create a regional stormwater detention area.
Project design is expected to start in October 2022, with
construction scheduled to begin in the spring of 2024. l

Capital City Improvement Support Effort

The Lansing Regional Chamber announced a regional advocacy effort focused on improving our capital city,
Lansing. As the State Legislature continues to look at ways to maximize the state’s share of federal funds, the
regional group will advocate for a capital city improvement support package that focuses on direct funding for
infrastructure and economic development investment. The package is necessary and will help the region achieve
long-term goals vital to our recovery and growth by ensuring our urban core is strong.
