This is the first of three series of public meetings

FOCUS STUDY PURPOSE AND GOALS FOCUS STUDY PURPOSE AND GOALS

“The Focus Study will be used to optimize investment in Ohio’s airport system with an eye toward safety, efficiency and economic growth. It will identify needed system improvements, develop a framework for prioritizing those projects, and assess the economic impact of each publicly owned airport. The Study’s findings will assist ODOT and FAA in making hard decisions on proposed airport development in a period

• f limited funding.”

WHAT THE STUDY IS/IS NOT WHAT THE STUDY IS/IS NOT

IS:

• About publicly‐funded

general aviation airports

• A big picture system plan

that identifies federal and state funding priorities

• An opportunity to quantify

economic benefits of system airports

IS NOT:

• About commercial air

service or privately‐owned airports

• An airport‐specific master

plan

• Going to recommend

airport closures

FOCUS STUDY: DATA COLLECTION FOCUS STUDY: DATA COLLECTION

• System Plan data collection process

– Contact airport managers/sponsors – Schedule visits – Send out airport survey – Visit 97 general aviation and 7 commercial airports – Interview airport manager and key tenants

• Data to be collected:

– Airport facilities and services – Airport activity – Tenants on airport – Airport valuation/land use – Economics

FOCUS STUDY: EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOCUS STUDY: EXPECTED OUTCOMES

• Detail on each of the 97 general aviation airports
• Evaluation of system efficiencies
• Summary of economic impacts by airport

– Jobs, payroll and output

• Framework for difficult state and federal funding

decisions

FOCUS STUDY: PROJECT DELIVERABLES FOCUS STUDY: PROJECT DELIVERABLES

Project deliverables:

WHAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR WHAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR

Surveyed Airports and Economic Development Authorities (EDAs) regarding:

– Regional economic conditions – Future economic prospects – Coordination between Airports and EDAs on economic development issues

INITIAL STAKEHOLDER INPUT INITIAL STAKEHOLDER INPUT

• Outreach to 104 airports

– 79 responses (76% response rate)

• Outreach to 88 EDAs (one in each Ohio county)

– 61 responses (69% response rate)

• Received 51 regional responses from both the

airport and the respective EDA

WHAT WE FOUND WHAT WE FOUND

• In general, airports and economic development

agencies agree airports play a positive role in local economic development

• Airports, however, view themselves as having a

higher level of significance than did EDAs

• Both generally have positive outlook on

economy’s future
