TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) -- As Terre Haute continues to expand its east side, where does the airport fit in?
With the business corridor along Indiana 46/US 40 being adjacent to the Terre Haute Regional Airport, developers are provided with additional opportunities but are also faced with unique challenges.
Representatives from the airport and a Strategic Plan project team held a public meeting Thursday to provide information about those opportunities and challenges.
Project manager Monica Newhouse explained that the strategic plan includes Gateway beautification, development options and the creation of airport overlay zoning.
"The airport gets a huge advantage of people knowing the airport is there. Along that corridor there's not much attention paid to the airport, but it's right there. That could mean business development," Newhouse said
