Lewistown Municipal Airport lands $4 million research facility

After nearly four years of planning and negotiating, the Western Transportation Institute (WTI) and the Lewistown Municipal Airport Board signed a contract to establish a $4 million cold weather transportation research center at the airport.

Members of the Airport Board signed the contract earlier this week and the last Montana State University vice president to sign did so Friday. WTI is located in MSU’s College of Engineering at Bozeman.

A no-host luncheon to commemorate signing of the contract, sponsored by the Fergus County Port Authority, will be held at noon on Wednesday, Sept. 26 at Harry’s on the Hill Restaurant. Members of the Lewistown Area Chamber of Commerce, Airport Board, city and county commissioners, and others will be invited, according to John Hertel, Port Authority chairman.
