Master Plan
As of April 2021, the Airport Master Plan is on a 5-year hold as the FAA develops a new ‘B2 Narrow’ classification. The Airport Master Plan will act as a guide in development over the next 20 years. The master plan began in early September 2017 with an aeronautical survey to collect obstruction data and an inventory of the Airport’s existing facilities. The master plan technical research, analysis and recommendations work concluded in March 2019.
