On the Radar

Airports in the Region

The Divisions Council continues to advance the Airports in the Region (AIR) initiative, originally endorsed by the Divisions Council at its fall 2004 business meeting. Since then, work activities have continued sporadically.

Two individuals, Stephanie Ward and Susan Schalk, recently published a PAS report, Planners and Planes: Airports and Land-Use Compatibility, based on a 2008 National Planning Conference session. The Divisions Council chose to augment this report by developing a series of case studies focused on planning outside of and around airports.

This initiative is ongoing. If you are interested in working on it, please contact Whit Blanton at wblanton@citiesthatwork.com.

If you have a case study to contribute, contact Terry Holzheimer at tholzheimer@arlingtonva.us.
