On Tuesday, the Craig Field Airport and Industrial Park Board presented the new executive director.

Jim Corrigan’s vision for the industrial park and airfield is strong.

“I would like to use my military experience and contacts to get FAA compliance, military and industrial development. I will use those contacts to see what can be done down the road,” said Corrigan.

Corrigan said he is also going to work more with the Dallas County Economic Development Authority (EDA) to help bring business into the industrial field.

“Grants are another important thing,” said Corrigan. “We will work to see about grants for funding and building improvement and removal. I believe in communication both ways and planning ahead. It stabilizes our lives and keeps us all on the same sheet of music.”

We wish Corrigan the best of luck in the new position, and we know his experience in the military and with the Delta Airline will be a valuable addition to the industrial park and air field.
