A new master plan for Bellingham International Airport is the topic of public events Thursday, Oct. 27, at Bellingham Cruise Terminal, 355 Harris Ave. The sessions will be noon to 2 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.
The planning effort, required by the Federal Aviation Administration, will take about a year to complete and will include analysis of current and future airport activities. The Port of Bellingham will study the airport facilities, property and surrounding area. Also on the agenda are growth projections and possible improvements needed to accommodate them.
Port officials say the effort is just beginning and more community meetings will be held. Information about the master plan, and a chance to comment, is at portofbellingham.com.
