Draft Airport Master Plan Update Public Meetings took place in September 2007.

After the Board approves a contract for the preparation of the EA and EIR, the Environmental Review process begins. This process will take 12-18 months to complete. Existing and potential environmental effects and appropriate mitigating measures will be considered throughout the Environmental Review process. There will be the opportunity for the public to make comments at public hearings during the Environmental Review. It is anticipated those meetings will be scheduled in fall 2009.

After the Environmental Review is complete the Board of Supervisors will consider and may vote to certify the Environmental Review documents and will consider adoption of the Master Plan Update. |
