Does your child need a REAL ID to fly? Here’s what parents should know:

Good news – children under 18 DO NOT need a REAL ID to fly domestically if they’re traveling with an adult who has an acceptable form of ID.

However, if your teen plans to fly unaccompanied AND they have TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass, they will need a REAL ID or another form of acceptable ID (like a passport) to receive expedited screening.

Energy costs for large terminal buildings represent a significant chunk of most airports’ operating budgets, especially in places like central Michigan where winters are bitterly cold and heat is an absolute necessity for comfort. MBS International Airport (MBS)—located near the inside joint of the “thumb” on Michigan’s mitten shape—just completed a nearly $9.6 million green energy project that harnesses solar power to decrease those costs.

This season has brought many challenges for the Giving Garden, but we're grateful for every opportunity to grow and give back. We're excited to announce our first donation of the year: 7 pounds of fresh kale, Swiss chard, onions, and beets delivered to Midland's Open Door.

Every harvest, big or small, helps nourish our community, and we're looking forward to many more donations as the season continues.
