About the Master Plan
An Airport Master Plan is a document that helps to guide the direction of public use airports, such as Lea County Regional Airport, by looking at factors such as:
- Current and potential future demand
- Efficiency and safety of airport operations
- Land use on and around the airport
- Future growth and ways to generate revenue.
It is a proactive document that identifies and then plans for future facility needs to ensure that airport management can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction to avoid experiencing detrimental effects due to inadequate facilities.
The ultimate goal of the study is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport’s overall maintenance, development, and operation, all while taking into consideration the community it serves.

Public Involvement
The approach to involve the community is multi-faceted. The Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) is a group of airport stakeholders who have been asked to volunteer their time to aid in the development of the Master Plan. The PAC will be convened for four (4) meetings to review draft chapters as developed by the consultant team. The same draft chapters made available to the PAC will be posted to this project website.
There will also be three (3) public information workshops during the study process. The workshops will be conducted in an open-house format where the public can visit with the project team and ask any questions they may have related to the project. The workshops are typically scheduled in the early evening to allow those heading home from work to stop by or to allow others to come after the dinner hour. The date and time of the workshops will be advertised locally and posted on this project website.
Draft chapters of the master plan report will be posted to this dedicated project website so that anyone can learn about the study process and review and comment on the draft material during the study. All community members are encouraged to engage in the process and provide comments to the project team. Interested parties can also utilize the ‘Comment’ feature on this project website. Direct communication with the project managers via phone or email is also acceptable, and their contact information is listed in the ‘Contact Us’ section at the bottom of this website.
