To our Waukegan and Lake County communities, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your support and help in making the Waukegan National Airport the aviation asset it is today. The airport is a foundational pillar of Lake County’s economy and important to some of the County’s largest employers. By providing tax revenues, the airport boosts the economy, powers businesses and drives growth. Our airport brings nearly $200,000,000 in economic activity to our region. Our goal is to provide the safest and most efficient aviation facility that serves aviation users in northeastern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin. This action requires consistent due diligence in following evolving Federal Aviation Administration’s safety and design standards, maintaining strong and clean pavement structures and providing the public with a transparent status of the airport’s operational needs. I will continue to update this segment of the website to provide you, the public, facts on UGN aeronautical operations, ongoing construction projects, and upcoming events. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 847-244-0055. Thank you for your support.
