Meeting Purpose

• Explain Master Plan purpose

and process

• Identify Master Plan issues

and needs

• Discuss preliminary aircraft

activity forecast and proposed design aircraft

BGQ

Airport Master Plan Purpose

• Guide future airport

development

• Identify airport capital

improvements

• Determine whether airport

improvements should be funded with FAA grants

BGQ

Airport Master Plan Basic Elements Public involvement Inventory of existing conditions Forecast of future activity

• Demand/capacity analysis
• Facility requirements
• Alternative improvement

scenarios

• Recommended plan

BGQ

Obligating the Airport

FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funding comes with “strings” attached:

• Manage land use around airport
• Long range plan to address design

standards

• Manage access onto the airport

BGQ would compete with other airports for available federal funding

BGQ

Schedule

• Condition and Needs Assessment –

December to March

• Land Use Assessment – December to

March

• Alternatives, Evaluations, and

Recommendations – April to July

• Airport Master Plan Report – June to

December

BGQ

Airside Issues and Needs
