Detroit Region Aerotropolis
The Detroit Region Aerotropolis (also referred to as the Detroit Aerotropolis or Michigan Aerotropolis) is an initiative to create an “aerotropolis” or airport-city in Southeast Michigan surrounding Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Willow Run Airport. Located just apart and situated along Interstate 94 (I-94), this dual-airport system is unique in terms of other aerotropolis-oriented developments around the world. The amount of undeveloped land between and surrounding the airports along with excess runway capacity at the airports are among primary drivers behind the initiative. Other factors such as the location of a major border crossing with Canada to the east, mature road and rail infrastructure, and the area’s major academic institutions have all driven the idea of taking advantage of the airports for the region’s overall economic benefit.
==History==
The discussion of developing an aerotropolis around Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Willow Run Airport dates back to the 1980s when Northwest Airlines helped make Detroit Metropolitan Airport a major hub for passenger travel. The aerotropolis concept was then advanced under the administration of Wayne County Chief Executive Edward H. McNamara who played a critical role in the expansion and upgrade of Detroit Metro’s infrastructure and terminals. At the same time, Willow Run Airport, once the primary location for the manufacturing of B-24 bombers during World War II, grew to be one of the busiest on-demand cargo airports in North America, serving the needs of the automotive industry.
In 2002 both airports were spun off from Wayne County control and placed under the current Wayne County Airport Authority. Following the retirement of Wayne County Executive Edward H. McNamara, the aerotropolis project became a key initiative of the administration of Wayne County Executive Robert A. Ficano.
Realizing that a project of such scope required strong input from the local governments near the airports, Wayne County began to engage the seven municipal governments in close proximity to the airports including two in neighboring Washtenaw County. Ten government entities along with the Wayne County Airport Authority signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to explore the Aerotropolis concept in the summer of 2006. CEO Ficano then recruited the support of the nonprofit group (Detroit Renaissance ) whose board is composed of the Detroit region’s leading private CEOs. In 2007 a 35-member public-private Aerotropolis Task Force was formed that included elected government officials, and private sector leaders.
