Rep. Calvert Statement on Ontario Airport

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement in response to the agreement that will restore local control of Ontario International Airport:

"Today is a good day for the Inland Empire. For far too long, we have seen first-hand the gradual decline of Ontario Airport, which is a critical component of our region's economic engine. With the return of local control, the future of Ontario Airport now rests in the hands of officials who are unquestionably committed to providing the Inland Empire with a first class airport. On numerous occasions I have personally urged Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti to help us transfer control of Ontario Airport – and I want to thank him for making that a reality. I also want to thank the Ontario councilmembers, our region's elected officials and the public for joining together in a singular voice in support of restoring local control of Ontario Airport."
