Facility Overview

Situated at 16815 Wright Rd just north of downtown Grand Ledge, Michigan, the parking facility serves Abrams Municipal Airport (FAA Identifier: 4D0) and its fixed-base operator (FBO), GrandAir Aviation. Designed as an expansive, open-air surface parking facility, it provides seamless ground vehicle accommodation for private pilots, charter clients, flight school students, and aviation visitors. Because the lot is entirely ground-level with open-air access, there are no overhead clearance restrictions, making it suitable for standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, utility vehicles, and larger transport shuttles.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Nestled in scenic Clinton County on the edge of Grand Ledge, this parking area offers convenient proximity to both local community destinations and regional hubs:

Motorists can easily connect to major regional thoroughfares, including M-43 (West Saginaw Highway) to the south and Interstate 96 / Interstate 69 just minutes to the east, providing rapid transit across Mid-Michigan.
