Goshen has several different zoning classifications. Check with the Planning Department for the zoning classification of your property.

Stay Indiana: Goshen Youth Airplane Build Kickoff Party
Saturday, August 16, 2025, 10:00am
STAY Indiana Helping teens discover aviation through building and flying airplanes: Stayindiana.org Everyone’s welcome! Event highlights: Boys and Girls Club Teen Airplane Build Celebration. Lunch Provided by Friendship Flights Foundation • Free Airplane Rides for Kids (Under 18) • Hands-On Zenith Project to Take Home • Meet Zenith Aircraft Representatives • Connect with STAY Indiana Volunteers What is Stay Indiana STAY Indiana is a 501(c)(3) organization based in the Michiana area (Elkhart/South Bend, Indiana). We are a group of pilots, mechanics, and volunteers who want to introduce the next generation to aviation. Our mentors will guide teens as they build an airplane and then teach them how to fly it! Through this process, we will expose teenagers to the mechanics, physics, and operation of aircraft. They will then be able to use these skills to achieve their Airframe and Powerplant Certificate (Aircraft Mechanic) if they choose, or their Private Pilot certificate should they want to pursue a career as a pilot. These skills will also translate to other industries, such as the local industry for the manufacturing and transporting of recreational vehicles.
