Joe, this is part of the press release I found on their website:
"Phase 1A ...will expand [The Airport Authority's] runway by 800 feet... The runway extension will allow us to accommodate more fully-booked flights in varying weather conditions, improving service to travelers and the airlins [sic] we serve... Results of a study of the extension plans completed in January 2008 found that there will be no significant environmental impact from the Airport construction. Construction is under stringent federal/state/local regulations and must meet strict guidelines for environmental impact. [The Airport Authority] is committed to meeting or exceeding those guidelines, when possible.
"Phase 1A includes the... installation of erosion & sediment control measures, and completion of wetlands/stream bank credits. "
Of understandable concern to neighbors is the runoff from this expansion, with the possibility that it will reach a local county park lake no more than a mile away in a direct line downhill from the project.
