Re: Lincoln Airport (LNK)
I’ve heard they are looking at bringing the Orlando flight back as well as a Chicago flight. I was looking at data between LNK and GRI. Grand Island is right on the heals of LNK enplanements. In November 2023 they were 9k vs 5k accordingly. I am guessing Lincoln loses out on passengers to both Omaha...

Re: Grand Island Rumor Mill
This is attributed to a number of sources including the revitalization of downtown GI, Woodsonia and the mall redevelopment, industry, and the medical community as well.
GI is setting itself up for a lot of growth in the years to come. The biggest thing in the way is property taxes.

Welcome back to GI! Yes, lots of work is being done all around town. As for the Panera, they did not relocate. From what I heard their rent at that site went way up and they opted to move out completely. Very sad. Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved back into town once Target is in.
