The Chippewa Valley has a vested interest in protecting the airspace around the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport. The airport is the air transportation hub of west central Wisconsin. $465 million dollars have been invested in the airport since the 1940's. The airport serves the regional community for the purposes of attracting businesses and industry to the region. The airport contributes million of dollars annually to the economy of Eau Claire, Chippewa and Dunn Counties and the surrounding region.
The Land Use Controls Division administers and enforces the Airport Zoning Ordinance. Eau Claire County has an agreement with Chippewa County to administer the program for those projects in Chippewa County outside the City of Eau Claire.
