[edit] Facilities

In 1929, the U.S. Navy Air Station opened as a training school, seaplane base and dirigible hangar. The base operated until 1969, when it was closed and turned over to the Township in 1971 for operation as a general aviation airport. The Airport serves a broad range of general aviation aircraft, business executives in modern corporate jets, avid recreational flyers in single and multi-engine aircraft and special event blimps. All are served by the Airport and tenants located at the facility. A memorial garden sits directly behind Township Hall, the former Hangar One, to honor all the men and women who served in the armed forces here at the Grosse Ile Naval Station.
