Aviation
Helping Local Economies Soar
With five licensed pilots on our team, we not only design and build runways. We pilot them too. McClure has been practicing private aviation since Jon McClure began the firm in 1956. You might say aviation is part of our DNA and culture. And this passion—along with the most experience of anyone in Iowa—gives us a unique insight into the issues facing airports today.
With national and international experience, our team understands various local, state, and federal regulations. We partner with the FAA and state agencies to help you find the funding you need (over the past five years we’ve obtained over $80M in grants for our clients). And we’ll be there throughout the project making sure you stay up to date on ever-changing regulations.
Our experience in real estate development also allows for a more comprehensive approach to airport expansion or renovation, considering its impact on local property values and opportunities for commercial development. Airports are economic engines; effective development and engineering enhance their role in boosting local tourism and business.
Local aviation is vital to business and economies. Essential to moving people, products, and services.
