SRAA to hold third open house on its airport master-plan update

The event is set for Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the airport’s J.P. Walsh Conference Room.

This open house will give the public a chance to learn more about the master plan update process and review the preferred 20-year development plan for the airport, SRAA said.

Those attending will be able to meet the project team; review information; ask questions; and provide comments on the future of SYR in an informal setting.

Airport master plans set forth the direction of an airport for up to 20 years, SRAA said. They provide a vision of the “specific, long-range” development plans of an airport based on forecasts of aviation activity, potential environmental effects, community compatibility, and financial feasibility.

“We stand at a critical time in our region’s development and our team has focused considerable efforts on refining the preferred 20-year development plan for our airport,” Jason Terreri, executive director of SRAA, said in the announcement. “The airport is often the first and last impression travelers have of our region. This makes it more crucial than ever to accommodate the forecasted traffic levels while maintaining an exceptional customer experience.”
