Yesterday, the Elizabethtown Airport Board announced the activation of a new Instrument Landing System (ILS) at Addington Field. The $600,000 project was completely funded by the city of Elizabethtown.

“We want to thank the City of Elizabethtown for its support through funding,” stated Airport Board Chairman Don Wise. 

The use of the ILS will improve safety by providing important visual cues for making a stabilizing approach, even when the ceiling and visibility are low, including at night or in bad weather. 

This new system will help increase the airport’s capacity for pilot training.

Yesterday, a special announcement was made marking a new and innovative partnership between Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and Family Scholar House. 

Guest speakers included Governor Andy Beshear, ECTC President Dr. Justin Pate, and Family Scholar House President and CEO Cathe Dykstra.

This partnership will provide coordinated wrap-around services for students and their families. 

The mission of Family Scholar House is to end the cycle of poverty and transform our community by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency.
