Following the September 11 attacks in 2001 , local concerns were raised that Custer Airport could be shut down by government intervention because of the airport 's close proximity to a nuclear power plant . Custer Airport is located approximately from the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station in neighboring Frenchtown Charter Township . It was proposed that airports within of a nuclear power plant be shut down until tighter security policies and government mandates could be enacted by both the airports and nuclear power plants . Custer Airport was ultimately not affected and experienced no changes in security procedures or operations , because security was deemed more than adequate at the small airport .
