Overview
The Helena Regional Airport has operated at its current location since 1928, originally overseen by a joint City-County Board. In 1993, a Joint Resolution passed by the City of Helena and Lewis & Clark County established the Helena Regional Airport Authority, creating an independent, financially self-sustaining entity. Since its inception, the Authority has operated without financial support from the City, County, or local taxpayers, and has not received any local tax revenue through mill levies. Governance of the Authority is provided by a seven-member commission, with appointments made by both the City and County Commissions.
