Re Opening of Lordsburg Airport to Boost Economy
The renovated Lordsburg Airport is set to jump start the local economy with operator John and Annalee Heemsbergen managing day to day operations under an agreement with the City of Lordsburg. They plan to rent spaces, run maintenance, and may open an interior finishing shop under the banner Lordsburg Aviation. They expect a year to year and a half to restart operations, attract pilots through aviation publications and flight schools, offer a courtesy car, and employ up to six locals. The venture hinges on attracting big business by ensuring flight access, with pilots and visitors fueling hotel stays and local commerce. The couple, former Minnesotans now based in the Southwest, highlight aviation’s low costs and aim to grow the town through air traffic.
