Given indications of the decline in the quality of Kansas General Aviation Airports and the potential negative effects of airport deterioration on Kansas communities, the objectives of the research are to document the deterioration of Kansas General Aviation Airports by obtaining information regarding the needed capital improvements at these airports; to measure the economic impacts of substandard airports on general aviation service users; and to identify the types of business firms whose location decisions are significantly affected by high quality air service. The objectives of the research are accomplished through the use of questionnaires distributed to managers of Kansas General Aviation Airports, to Kansas businesses that use airports, and to members of the Kansas Pilots Association (KPA). Airport managers provided a long list of needed capital improvements with special emphasis on lengthening and resurfacing the runway.

Originally published in 1990 this book provides an authoritative and detailed account of the initiatives of US state governments with science and technology programs designed to foster economic growth. Two key questions are posed: Do state governments have policy instruments that are sufficiently powerful to affect thelevels and growth rates of their regional economies? and Are national and global economic forces so powerful that they render state action ineffective? Several subsidiary themes are discusses in this context, namely: the most commonly used policy instruments, the impacts on federalism and on governance and how well the universities and other educational institutions serve the economic activities imposed on them.
