GARY – Chicago developer Eastlake Management & Development Corp. has met with members of the Gary/Chicago International Airport about a development at the airport.

Eastlake is owned by Elzie Higginbottom, who wants to create a charter and jet fueling operation similar to that operated by Gary Jet Center. If the proposal is approved by the Airport Authority, Eastlake would build a 30,000-square-foot hangar.
