AIRPORT MASTER PLAN UPDATE EFFORTS CONTINUE IN 2008

Planning for the future of Hood River's Ken Jernstedt Airfield began September 19, 2002, when the Port of Hood River hosted a public meeting to kick off a new airport Master Plan update process.

The Port, working in conjunction with Oregon Department of Aviation and aviation planning consultant Century West, concluded much of the Plan in early 2004. The new Plan guides development at Ken Jernstedt Airfield for the next 20 years.

Master Plan topics that were considered included potential property acquisitions, hangar construction, potential runway extension and airport security. The public is welcome to recommend other areas for master plan consideration. Public input is encouraged throughout airport master plan development.

Hood River County will review the Master Plan in 2008 with the objectives of operational safety, facility upgrades, and long-term viability of the airport through employment development, historic aircraft, flightseeing, and flight training. A top goal of the review will be to look at the alignment of the airport and County transportation planning objectives, including economic development, streamlining planning and zoning processes and establishing intergovernmental agreements to accomplish those goals.
