The Gary/Chicago International Airport has made “tremendous progress” in the last few years, its executive director said, and he doesn’t expect that to stop. “Our airport began cargo service operations in quarter four of 2020,” said Executive Director Dan Vicari. “It has been incredibly successful, providing our airport with another competitive offering to bolster the Northwest Indiana economy.” The airport on Tuesday hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for about $24 million in infrastructure enhancements.
