Talks Underway on Future of Hartford's Brainard Airport

Some argue redevelopment t is better option

Suggests city work with CAA to have Brainard reach full potential
Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon

(Hartford, Conn. WTIC)--The Hartford City Council and Connecticut Airport Authority are in discussions on what the future holds for the Century old Brainard Airport.

Some Council members argue the Airport fails to make money and could be better suited for redevelopment, opening up access to the  city's riverfront.


Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin called ongoing talks productive.

Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon admits  that generally these airports lose money but are an economic generator as far as providing employment.

He adds, " We need the city to work with us to have Brainard reach its  full potential. If we do have a reluctant sponsor, maybe it's time to sit  down and  discuss its future."

Dillon was a guest on the WTIC morning show.
