Last Open House for KCI Airport Master Plan and KCI Area Plan Studies to be Held |
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI – In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the Kansas City Aviation Department will host the last Open House regarding two of the three current Kansas City International Airport studies on Thursday, September 4, 2008 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Ambassador Building (former Farmland headquarters), 12200 Ambassador Drive, Kansas City, Missouri, just east of the Airport and I-29.
The main focus of this session will be to provide attendees with summary results of two of the three ongoing Airport Planning studies – the Airport Master Plan and the KCI Area Land Use Plan. Project team members will give a brief presentation regarding these two studies at 5:00 p.m. A separate Public Hearing for the Noise Compatibility Study was held August 5th so that topic will not be covered September 4.
The informal format will allow the public to ask questions of the project team members, view exhibits, and receive handout materials that provide further details on the studies in addition to listening to the presentation. Displays will illustrate final recommendations.
The Airport Master Plan’s major tasks are to examine existing and future facility requirements at KCI, and provide a plan for growth and development of the Airport over the next 20 years. The KCI Area Plan’s goal is to explore land use and growth issues in the KCI area, and provide a plan that attempts to balance needs of the Airport, residents and business communities.
The City has contracted with the aviation planning firm of Landrum and Brown, Inc. to complete these studies.

Information regarding the concurrent Airport Noise Compatibility Study, for which comments were received at Public Hearing on August 5th, is also available.
