The 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. Study Purpose The purpose of the Airport Master Plan is to define the current, short-term and long-term needs of the airport through a comprehensive evaluation of facilities, conditions and FAA airport planning and design standards. The study will also address elements of local planning (land use, transportation, environmental, economic development, etc.) that have the potential of affecting the planning, development and operation of the airport. Project Need The FAA requires airports to periodically update their master plans as conditions change in order to maintain current planning. The last Airport Layout Plan Report was completed in 2003. In July 2018, the Airport was transferred from Curry County to City of Brookings ownership. The City of Brookings in consultation with the FAA identified the need to develop a new Airport Master Plan that would reflect the community vision for the airport and provide a document that would guide the DRAFT community and AirportDRAFT into the future. DEVELOP UNDERSTANDING - INTRODUCTION PAGE 1 BROOKINGS AIRPORT | AIRPORT MASTER PLAN Project Funding Funding for the Airport Master Plan Update is being provided through an FAA Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant of $390,794 (90%) and an ODA COAR grant of $39,080 (9%) with a local match of $4,342 (1%) provided by the City of Brookings for a total project cost of $434,216. The AIP is a dedicated fund administered by FAA with the specific purpose of maintaining and improving the nation’s public use airports. The AIP is funded exclusively through fees paid by users of general aviation and commercial aviation. 90% 9% 1% FAA AIP COAR Local Grant Grant Match $390,794 $39,080 $4,342 Goals of the Master Plan The primary goal of the master plan is to provide the framework and vision needed to guide future development at the Brookings Airport. The FAA sets out goals and objectives each master plan should meet to ensure future development will cost-effectively satisfy aviation demand and also consider potential environmental and socioeconomic impacts. 1 Define the vision for the airport to effectively 6 Identify potential environmental and land use serve the community, airport users, and the requirements that may impact development. region.

PAGE 2 DEVELOP UNDERSTANDING - INTRODUCTION BROOKINGS AIRPORT | AIRPORT MASTER PLAN THE FAA ROLE IN THE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN FAA Advisory Circular 150/5070-6B Airport Master Plans defines the specific requirements and evaluation methods established by FAA for the study. The guidance in this AC covers planning requirements for all airports, regardless of size, complexity, or role. However, each master plan study must focus on the specific needs of the airport for which a plan is being prepared. The recommendations contained in an airport master plan represent the views, policies and development plans of the airport sponsor and do not necessarily represent the views of the FAA. Acceptance of the master plan by the FAA does not constitute a commitment on the part of the United States to participate in any development depicted in the plan, nor does it indicate that the proposed development
