The facility will offer programs in aircraft maintenance, flight operations, and related technical fields.

It is also expected to strengthen the region's workforce and attract new business to the airport.

Construction is scheduled to move forward in phases, with the first classes expected to begin once the initial buildings are complete. Organizers described the day as a turning point for both the airport and the surrounding community.
