About the project

An Airport Master Plan is a facility planning study that represents an airport's “blueprint" or plan for long-term, mid-range and short-term development on the airport.  As required by the Federal Aviation Administration, the Aurora State Airport Master Plan will provide specific guidance in making the improvements necessary to maintain a safe and efficient airport that is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable. The Airport Master Plan will define the needs of the Airport through a comprehensive evaluation of facilities, conditions, and federal airport planning and design standards.  It will also consider what is happening around the Airport that could affect the future plans, development, and operation of the Airport.
