ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Public information meetings and responses to comments received have concluded for Phase I. The next opportunity to respond to comments will be comments received on the Draft EIS document. However, all comments received will be accepted and reviewed, and will be considered in the preparation of the Draft EIS document.
   
• The FAA has conducted an evaluation of the approaches into the Friedman Memorial Airport in response to questions that have arisen from the community. The questions included whether or not the FAA has exhausted all feasible technologies available that could improve approaches to the existing airport, thereby obviating the need to find a replacement airport. The first link below is the correspondence requesting the Flight Procedures Office (FPO) to further evaluate the technologies and the second link is the response from the FPO.
