Indianapolis Executive Airport Study

Land-Use Study

In the fall of 2018, the Town of Zionsville and the Hamilton County Airport Authority/Indianapolis Executive Airport launched a study to plan improvements at the airport and recommend how properties nearby might be appropriately developed alongside its projected growth. The plan is intended to achieve the dual goals of meeting demand for growth that is nearing the airport and establishing airport-friendly development protections so that the airport remains viable for years to come.
