Officials in Illinois today celebrated the opening of a new, dedicated U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility at Chicago Executive Airport (KPWK) with a ribbon cutting ceremony and tours. The new building is located at the south end of the airfield off Palatine Road, at the site of the former Hangar 4, which was demolished in 2020 to make room for the project. Groundbreaking on the new CBP facility took place soon after.
