Municipal leaders across the Rainy River district have given their support to the concept of turning the Fort Frances municipal airport into a regional one.
Fort Frances councillor Rick Wiedenhoeft says the passing of a resolution at this past weekend's Rainy River District Municipal Association meeting allows them to take the idea a step further.
"That's probably where we'll go from here where we're giong to create a committee that will look at how we can fund this regional airport," says Wiedenhoeft.
Wiedenhoeft says they also plan to talk with senior levels of government to determine how First Nations and residents living in the unincorporated areas would contribute.
