The Missouri Department of Transportation Aviation Section recently completed The Economic Benefit of Missouri’s Airport System. Of the $9.5 billion total economic activity to the state, GA creates over $1.1 billion in economic activity and $363.7 million in payroll representing 11,000 jobs.
The booklet describes the economic impact airport by airport, and can be a very useful tool when explaining the benefits of GA to the uninformed (including elected officials).
For more information, contact Joe Pestka, Administrator of Aviation, 573 526-5570.
