Community Involvement
Public Involvement Plan
As part of the Master Plan effort, a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) was developed to identify project stakeholders, outreach methods and tools, and the schedule for outreach efforts. A copy of the PIP can be found on the Documents tab. The sections below describe some of the components of the PIP.

A Stakeholder Advisory Committee (SAC) was developed to serve in an advisory role throughout the Master Plan process and represented a wide array of stakeholders, including local government representatives, airport users, the business community, and community members. This committee served several important functions including: representing the broad range of stakeholder groups; reviewing, understanding, and sharing project updates; and providing input on the project while serving as a voice of key stakeholders.

Public Meetings
Public meetings were held throughout the project as a way to provide project information and solicit feedback from our community and project stakeholders. The meetings included a mix of project materials and project presentations. The project team was available at each meeting to answer questions.
Additionally, the project team attended other stakeholder hosted and community events to provide updates throughout the project.
