Grant County : Airport layout plan
(Grant County (Or.), 1996-10) Grant County (Or.); Oregon. Aeronautics Section; John Day (Or.); Devco Engineering; David Miller and Associates; Gazely and Associates; Aron Faegre and Associates
The primary objective of the Airport Layout Plan Report is to provide a long-term development program which will yield a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally acceptable air transportation facility for the area. As noted in the Airport Service Area section, John Day State Au-port is positioned to serve a number of nearby communities and a large rural area within Grant County and adjacent counties. The planning process requires an evaluation of the airport and a determination of what actions should be taken in the future to maintain an adequate, safe, and reliable airport facility. The review and approval of the Auport Layout Plan drawing by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will enable the Sponsor to apply for federal Auport Improvement Program (AIP) grants for eligible facility improvement projects. Although competition for AIP dollars is substantial, AIP funds are an essential funding source in funding airport improvement projects at community general aviation airports. [From the Plan]
