NE Regional Air Study Plan

Over the past two years there have been three studies that we have been watching for ORH. One was the $100,000 IMG study which presented a stategic plan for ORH. This has been completed and can be found on the City's website under the reports tab.

A second $400,000 Master Plan (paid by the Mass Aeronautics Commission and the FAA) has been silent since a meeting in December, 2004 at the airport. One of the reasons cited for the delay was that we were waiting for results from the third study.

The third study is the New England Regional Air Study Plan. Today I noticed under the "project status" tab that on 2/27/06 :Airport specific forcasts individual airport data packets provided to each airport manager. Does that mean we can resume the Master Plan now that we have the information from the New England Regional Air Study Plan?

It would be nice to have our Master Plan completed ASAP, when we have some very critical decisions to make over the next 419 days.
