Taking West Michigan to new heights involves many hands at work, including local contractors. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport is proud to collaborate and build deep-rooted connections with the community. We've interviewed several of these local businesses to hear their fun facts, statistics, and favorite parts of working at the Airport. A special thanks to Windemuller Electric.
