187 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 1 are again interested in developing hangars at the airport. GCC is owned by Campbell County and is usually staffed by ten employees, although, they are down to eight. They are currently looking for new employees and are starting to collaborate with Gillette Community College, the local educational institution, to train airport mechanics. Chatfield attests, “I’ve been in this position for 90 days and already met the president of the college – hopefully that will get the new course for the airport mechanic program off the ground.” The local community is behind the training program, having voted for the course to be available at a local college, and that taxpayers will fund any shortfalls in budget. Chatfield adds, “It’s unheard of in a conservative state, but they saw the potential and the need to keep it funded and going. It’s wonderful to bring more aviation programs to more people.” NORTHEAST WYOMING REGIONAL A I RPORT
