  • Future Role of Hillsboro Airport Chapter Two Port of Portland
    PORT OF PORTLAND Chapter Two FUTURE ROLE OF HILLSBORO AIRPORT CHAPTER TWO PORT OF PORTLAND FUTUREFUTURE ROLEROLE OFOF HILLSBOROHILLSBORO AIRPORTAIRPORT The purpose of this chapter of the Airport Master Plan is to analyze the feasibility of alternative roles for Hillsboro Airport within the context of the Portland metropolitan system of airports and State of Oregon system of airports. This analysis provides a foundation for the Port of Portland to determine, specifically and ideally, what Hillsboro Airport's role should be through 2025. This involves considering the probability and viability of supporting scheduled commercial air service and/or air cargo activity at Hillsboro Airport. HILLSBORO AIRPORT'S EXISTING ROLE The role for Hillsboro Airport is defined within both state and federal aviation plans. At the national level, Hillsboro Airport is defined as a reliever airport in the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). Reliever airports are specially designated general aviation airports intended to reduce congestion at large commercial service airports. This reliever role is usually accomplished, not by accommodating commercial flights, but by providing an attractive option for the myriad of non-commercial, general aviation aircraft operations that urban areas generate. Hillsboro Airport is classified as a reliever for Portland International Airport (PDX). In this role, Hillsboro Airport is intended to preserve capacity at PDX by offering an alternative operating area for general

  • The World at Our Door
    The World At Our Door 2010 Community Report www.portcw.com Welcome A Message from the Executive Director Founded in 1935, the Port of Camas-Washougal marks its 75th anniversary in 2010. As we commemorate this event, it is an opportunity for us to review recent successful activities with a look toward the future. The original purpose of formation of the port district was to enhance the economic well being of this community. The port continues to fulfill this mission today by attracting economic development and bringing new jobs to the area. In addition, the port provides various options for the public to enjoy recreational pursuits along the Columbia River, as well as maintaining environmental stewardship and historical site preservation. All of this is tempered by the need to maintain fiscal responsibility and financial accountability to our citizens. To this end, the port manages three operating areas: a boating marina, Grove Field airport and an industrial park. Each of these unique operating areas function as community assets that provide both economic and recreational benefits to local citizens and the greater Southwest Washington community. The port investments in each of these areas are detailed in this report to the community. To learn more about port-sponsored capital improvement projects, efforts underway to update the comprehensive plan and to contribute your ideas, please visit our Web site www.portcw.com or join the community dialogue started on our blog at http://portcw.com/index.php/about/blog/. You can also reach me via phone or any of the port staff by calling (360) 835-2196.
