[UPDATED] Airport Authority Head Calls Light Rail Connection "A Priority"
President of the Indianapolis Airport Authority Board Randy Tobias says he's focusing on the next steps now that the new airport is up and running. The president of the Indianapolis Airport Authority Board believes a light rail line connecting the newly opened airport to downtown Indianapolis is a key component to further economic development in Central Indiana. Randy Tobias makes the comment in an interview with Inside INdiana Business Host Gerry Dick. He says with the $1.1 billion dollar airport opening on-time and on-budget, officials would like to find a way to build a rapid transit line.

Tobias also says the old airport will likely be torn down and the area redeveloped. He believes the site has plenty of advantages including its proximity to rail lines and interstates.
He beleives the entire airport area has the potential to be one of the biggest economic engines that has opened in Central Indiana in "a long, long time."
