For the benefit of all Bend Airport users
What kind of airport should the Bend Airport become – in say 10 years? Towered? Longer runway? A second parallel runway? Fenced-in? Rest rooms? More vehicle parking? More aircraft parking?
Right NOW is the time for you to be heard. Well, actually, Feb. 11th, when the public advisory committee (PAC) convenes to discuss these and other development alternatives.
What and who is the PAC? Well, it’s a diverse group of airport users, airport businesses, regulators, elected representatives, consultants, airport mgt. staff, and city staff.
If you’re not sure your interests in the airport’s development will be addressed as the various development alternatives are presented and discussed, you can listen-in, or you can let us know what’s on your mind, and we’ll compile a list, and do our best to see that they get addressed.
