A 45-acre area just outside of Pittsburgh-Butler County Airport could soon become the business center of Penn Township — the Airport Land Development Zone.

The area is just north of the airport, along Airport Road. While the zone is currently dormant and devoid of any activity, airport officials are hoping that one day it will unlock new financial opportunities once businesses begin building there.

Butler County Commissioner Kim Geyer spoke glowingly of the opportunities afforded by the zone during the State of the County event on March 20.

“We’re positioning the airport to be in a position of strength for the future,” Geyer said.
