Holland, MI — October 10, 2011 The West Michigan Airport Authority’s board approved that Tulip City Airport’s name will change to West Michigan Regional Airport. The decision was made at the WMAA board meeting held at Howard Miller Library and Community Center in Zeeland.

“This is no longer just a city airport. Tulip City Airport has expanded to include the support of surrounding municipalities that see the airport as a venue that minimizes time and distance – making West Michigan a viable option for companies and individuals,” explained Zeeland’s Mayor Les Hoogland.

Mayor Kurt Dykstra of Holland stated, “We are one community – and our success as a community depends upon us working together to better compete. Changing our airport’s name reinforces the fact that this community asset serves all of West Michigan and helps connect our local economy to the global economy.”

Since 2008, Park Township, the City of Zeeland, and the City of Holland have been working together to provide this vital community service.
