They are currently in discussions with other tenants but even with what they have, and the airport’s planned expansion, you can see that RMMA contributes massively to Jefferson County, employing thousands of people and bringing in millions of dollars in terms of revenue. They are also able to continue to grow because of the amount of income generated by the growth – it is rather cyclical and has happened thanks to the foresight of County and Airport leadership. “Our challenge as the staff is to look at what is happening, compare it to the plan, and really look deeply at what development projects to give the green light to,” explains Miller. “There is a lot of demand and a lot of great ideas are being put forward. But what should we do next, and how does it lead to what will come after that? It is all about choosing the right partner and entering negotiations and then looking at the county process for approval. There are a lot of stakeholders but there are so many interesting prospects.” Summing up his outlook for the future, Miller adds, “It takes risk if you are going to grow and evolve, but it is pretty exciting at the same time. We are just trying to create the best airport we can and provide businesses, jobs, and opportunity in every way possible.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n SHELTAIR www.sheltairaviation.com Sheltair is proud of its partnership with Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport and excited to support its continued growth and development.
