BLUE GRASS AIRPORT TO HOST
PUBLIC INFORMATION WORKSHOP
Environmental Assessment for Proposed
Runway Replacement
February 27 , 2008 – The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Airport Board will hold a Public Information Workshop on an Environmental Assessment for proposed replacement Runway 9-27 at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. The workshop is scheduled to be held on Thursday, March 6, 2008 from 6:00-8:00 pm at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, located at 1600 Man-O-War Boulevard, Lexington, KY 40513.
One of the key recommendations of the updated 20-year Master Plan for Blue Grass Airport adopted in 2004 was the replacement of the airport’s 3,500 foot long crosswind runway (Runway 8-26) with a relocated and realigned Runway 9-27 (east-west orientation). The proposed replacement runway would be located to the west of the airport’s main runway and in the general vicinity of the western half of the existing crosswind Runway 8-26, which would be closed. Before realignment of the runway can begin, the project must undergo an environmental review by the Federal Aviation Administration. During the third Public Workshop, information will be provided on the alternatives under review and the potential environmental consequences. The proposed replacement runway will continue to serve general aviation aircraft.
The Public Information Workshop will be held in an informal open house format with a brief slide presentation scheduled from 7 pm to 7:30 pm. Representatives from the airport and the study team will be available throughout the evening to talk with citizens about the environmental review. Graphics will be on display so citizens can review presentation details and there will be an opportunity to submit written or oral comments. |
