Proposed Bend Airport Project

Proposed Bend Airport Project

The construction of a new helicopter landing area, taxi lanes, aircraft parking apron and other facilities will enhance efficiency and improve safety at the Bend Municipal Airport by providing greater separation of helicopter and fixed-wing operations. The proposed project will improve a key transportation and economic development driver for the community.

To learn about the Eastside Helicopter Area Environmental Assessment Project, the Bend Municipal Airport will hold its project kick-off meeting:

Monday, March 3, 2014 
6:00 p.m.
City of Bend Municipal Court Building
555 N.E. 15th Street
Bend, OR, 97701

The public meeting will provide an opportunity for the community, neighbors, and other project stakeholders to hear about proposed improvements at the Bend Municipal Airport. The consultant will join representatives from the City, Deschutes County and the Federal Aviation Administration to outline the scope, timeline, opportunities for public comment, and goals for the Environmental Assessment. The Environmental Assessment is the first step towards creating a helicopter-based landing and take-off area.
