Rockford Airport Considered For Aeronautical Campus

Congressman Don Manzullo, (R-16), will welcome U.S. House Transportation Committee Chairman John Mica (R-FL) to Rockford this morning. Congressman Mica is touring the Rockford International Airport and will speak to a group of regional transportation officials.

Congressman Mica will join Congressman Manzullo and other officials in a tour of the Rockford airport. The facility is in the running to become the third residential campus for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, joining campuses in Daytona Beach and Prescott Arizona.

Congressman Mica represents the home of Embry-Riddle and it is expected he will have great things to say about Rockford the next time he visits with Embry-Riddle's President Dr. John Johnson.
