City of Goodyear : City News

Though I understand this airport is currently used for training pilots, maintenance, and some small jet/corporate air traffic, I wonder if this expansion is part of a long term plan to turn this into something like the Mesa Gateway airport and allow large commercial air traffic. Seems like Phoenix-Goodyear airport could potentially support a lot of commercial air traffic. Given the future growth of the west valley, it would seem logical that eventually we will have our own commercial traffic airport out here.

"the increasing amount of general and corporate aircraft coming to the West Valley and Goodyear –"

GA and corporate ..looks like they just want to expand to ad more of their existing clientele.

Right. Sometimes such facilities are built for a more near term goal as you quoted but also open ended enough for something else down the line.
