AIRPORT NEWS From Director Doug Hammon:
OSU has recently embarked on a project to extend the northernmost runway at the University Airport. The first step in this process is to conduct an Environmental Assessment of the proposed improvement.
Through the Environmental Assessment, the University's consultant will examine the impact of the proposed improvement on various environmental factors such as noise, historical and archeological features, ground water, wetlands and endangered species, to name a few.
In an effort to receive public input regarding the proposal, the University will employ an extensive public involvement process throughout the planning period. In as much, the first public workshop to introduce the project to the community is scheduled for Thursday, January 23, 5:30-7:30 p.m. in Hangar 1 at the OSU Airport, 2160 West Case Rd.
