LVIA is well known for moving people and goods efficiently. But
the airport's activity has an economic impact that moves far beyond
its terminal and runways.
LVIA is a self-supporting
airport, providing substantial economic benefits to the greater
Lehigh Valley. While there are many ways to assess those benefits,
the simplest and most telling are:
- LVIA tenants
and visitors contribute more than $300 million in economic benefits
to the Lehigh Valley annually.
- Every airplane
that lands or takes off at LVIA generates more than $2,000 of
economic activity in the area.
- Benefits
hard to quantify, but critical to business, include availability
of air travel, air cargo and small-package handling. The airport's
port of entry serves about 4,000 businesses a year; those customers
represent more than $28 million in annual duties.
- LVIA is an
important factor when businesses decide to expand or relocate
locally.
