PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
The approach to community involvement is multifaceted. The airport master plan includes the establishment of a Planning Advisory Committee, or PAC. The PAC is a group of airport stakeholders who volunteer their time to aid in the development of the airport master plan. The PAC will be convened for four meetings to review draft chapters as developed by the consultant team. The same draft chapters made available to the PAC will be posted on this project website.
Two (2) public information workshops will be held during the master planning process. The workshops will be conducted in an open-house format where the public can visit with the project team and ask any questions they may have related to the project. The workshops are typically scheduled in the early evening to allow those heading home from work to stop by or allow others to come after the dinner hour. The date and time of each workshop will be advertised locally and posted on this project website.
Any interested citizen is encouraged to provide comments and suggestions to the project team. Comment sheets are provided to the PAC and at the public information workshops, and citizens can also utilize the ‘Comment’ feature on this project website. Direct communication with the project managers via phone or email is also acceptable. The project managers for the airport master plan are listed in the ‘Contacts’ section at the bottom of this page.
