MEETING AGENDA MEETING AGENDA • Welcome and introductions • Roles • Meeting purpose • Study purpose and context • Issue and opportunity identification • Other stakeholder input to date • Next steps Meeting Format: Combination of presentation & interactive discussion

ROLES AND DISCUSSION GROUND RULES ROLES AND DISCUSSION GROUND RULES • Facilitator’s role: engage you in a focused way – and get you out on time! • Your role today: – Learn about Ohio’s general aviation airports! – Focus on constructive ideas and solutions – Stick to the issue – Keep comments brief so everyone has time to discuss – It is okay to disagree but don't be disagreeable

MEETING PURPOSE MEETING PURPOSE 1. Provide an overview of the goals, process, schedule and stakeholder input to date for the Ohio Airports Focus Study 2. Listen and gather community input on potential study issues, pitfalls and opportunities 3. Use your input to shape our work 4. Share the information with decision makers This is the first of three series of public meetings

FOCUS STUDY PURPOSE AND GOALS FOCUS STUDY PURPOSE AND GOALS “The Focus Study will be used to optimize investment in Ohio’s airport system with an eye toward safety , efficiency and economic growth . It will identify needed system improvements, develop a framework for prioritizing those projects, and assess the economic impact of each publicly owned airport. The Study’s findings will assist ODOT and FAA in making hard decisions on proposed airport development in a period of limited funding.”

WHAT THE STUDY IS/IS NOT WHAT THE STUDY IS/IS NOT IS: IS NOT: • About publicly ‐ funded • About commercial air general aviation airports service or privately ‐ owned airports • A big picture system plan that identifies federal and • An airport ‐ specific master state funding priorities plan • An opportunity to quantify • Going to recommend economic benefits of airport closures system airports

FOCUS STUDY: DATA COLLECTION FOCUS STUDY: DATA COLLECTION • System Plan data collection process Contact airport managers/sponsors – Schedule visits – Send out airport survey – Visit 97 general aviation and 7 commercial airports – Interview airport manager and key tenants – • Data to be collected: Airport facilities and services – Airport activity – Tenants on airport – Airport valuation/land use – Economics –

FOCUS STUDY: EXPECTED OUTCOMES FOCUS STUDY: EXPECTED OUTCOMES • Detail on each of the 97 general aviation airports • Evaluation of system efficiencies • Summary of economic impacts by airport – Jobs, payroll and output • Framework for difficult state and federal funding decisions

FOCUS STUDY: PROJECT DELIVERABLES FOCUS STUDY: PROJECT DELIVERABLES Project deliverables: • Technical reports of findings • Executive summary of recommendations • Individual airport brochures that summarize features and economic impacts Question: How might your community use these study results and deliverables when they are completed?

DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: How do the general aviation airports in your county and region benefit your community?

DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: How might the airport(s) in your county and region be improved to better serve your community and state?

DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: In light of limited state and federal funding, what concerns or issues do you have about your local airports and the state’s overall general aviation system?

WHAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR WHAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR Surveyed Airports and Economic Development Authorities (EDAs) regarding: – Regional economic conditions – Future economic prospects – Coordination between Airports and EDAs on economic development issues

INITIAL STAKEHOLDER INPUT INITIAL STAKEHOLDER INPUT • Outreach to 104 airports – 79 responses (76% response rate) • Outreach to 88 EDAs (one in each Ohio county) – 61 responses (69% response rate) • Received 51 regional responses from both the airport and the respective EDA

WHAT WE FOUND WHAT WE FOUND • In general, airports and economic development agencies agree airports play a positive role in local economic development • Airports, however, view themselves as having a higher level of significance than did EDAs • Both generally have positive outlook on economy’s future
