Study History
The Airport Master Plan Update process began in 2008 and was completed in 2010. Consultants conducted their analysis of the airport layout, conducted activity forecasts and conducted airport user interviews 2008-2009. After analyzing that data, consultants presented an initial draft Master Plan Update to the Airport Authority on May 25, 2010. A workshop 5:30 to 8 p.m. that evening allowed the public to review the draft plan and ask questions about the study.
A website containing all Master Plan Update documents, maps, schedules and information regarding the purpose of the Master Plan Update was published. A public hearing on the plan was held June 22 to allow the public to address comments directly to the Airport Authority. A public comment period was held from May 25 to September 8, 2010, with opportunity for the public to comment via the Master Plan Update website, by e-mail, by mail or by hand delivery of comments to the Airport Authority offices. Media covered each stage of the Master Plan Update process.
Nearly two dozen meetings with key stakeholders – local planners, airport tenants, government officials and others – were held during the comment period. After reviewing and considering comments from stakeholders and the public, consultants presented a final plan to the Airport Authority. The Airport Authority adopted the plan on September 28, 2010.
