Apache Junction Mayor Chip Wilson has been elected chairman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority for fiscal year 2023-24.
Each year, the PMGAA board elects a slate of officers from the six-member community board representatives. Gila River Indian Community Lt. Gov. Monica Antone will serve as vice chair, Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley will serve as secretary and Mesa Mayor John Giles will serve as treasurer, according to a release.
PMGAA consists of representation from Apache Junction, Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Gila River Indian Community and Phoenix.
“Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is a $1.8 billion per year economic engine for the greater Phoenix region and the state of Arizona,” Chairman Wilson said. “It’s an honor to serve as chairman of the PMGAA board of directors this year as we work together to improve commercial air service and attract additional private development projects to Gateway Airport.”
PMGAA Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer J. Brian O’Neill, A.A.E., added, “Chairman Wilson and the other members of the PMGAA board of directors provide exceptional leadership, broad experience and a unified vision that guides the continued development and improvement of Gateway Airport. PMGAA staff looks forward to working with Chairman Wilson and the PMGAA board on exciting projects including Gulfstream, Virgin Galactic and XNRGY Climate Systems.”
