Why Invest Here

At Chicago Executive Airport, we've made significant investments in preparation for new, construction-ready development properties to meet the demand for new hangars.  These improvements include:

  • Targeted development of land as identified in a new Master Plan.
  • Enhanced safety with the removal of three "hot spots".
  • Installed new airfield lighting.

The Airport Layout Plan identifies areas for redevelopment and suggests a 3-phased approach to constructing facilities in support of varied businesses and aircraft sizes.
