The March 30, 2016 edition of the Grand Forks Herald includes an op-ed written by North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, highlighting the ongoing work to cement North Dakota and Grand Forks Air Force Base as leaders in UAS/drone industry.
At the heart of those efforts is Grand Sky, which today met another critical milestone with the approval of a Joint Use Agreement that will allow Grand Sky tenants access to GFAFB’s runway. As Heitkamp states in her op-ed, this agreement is another critical step forward for Grand Sky and paves the way for tenants to launch large unmanned aircraft from the same runway that the AFB is using to launch its UASs – a perfect illustration of the innovative and unique public-private partnership that makes Grand Sky possible.
