together for the most part to foster that working relationship with us.” “The city, specifically, has done a lot as far as economic development. They have an Economic Development Corporation, a 4b fund.That 4b fund has owned, sold, and leased tons of land to different corporations, manufacturing, shipping, and all kinds of companies, and it is the counterpart to the North Industrial Park we are lucky that the county and the city partners and built a major thoroughfare, arterial road that enters one of our main entrances to the airport right into that industrial park.” “We are lucky to have that economic partnership,” he further states. Brown notes that the partnership has also spawned the building of a Technology Park which is adjacent to the airport and this is a part of Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport’s entrance and is essentially economic development land for the City and the airport. “They have recently secured their first major tenant, which is a company called VGX II and it is a vaccine manufacturing company.” This symbiotic economic partnership has born economic opportunities and is set to draw in more commercial interest in the foreseeable future. So what is the main focus for the next year or so? “We are going to mainly focus on our 139 certification process and the two projects that we have going on, the remarking project and the designing and implementation of the taxiway realignments additions so that we get that hanger access up and going,” Brown concluded. Flying into 2025, Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport has the economic tailwinds to propel it into a high-flying few years ahead. 131 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 11, ISSUE 11 CONROE-NORTH HOUSTON REGIONAL AIRPORT
