The Washington State Department of Transportation is inviting the public to comment on a draft communication plan for its statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study. The 15-day public comment period ends April 7. Review the draft communication plan here.
The statewide Aviation Economic Impact Study will describe the economic benefits and impacts that the aviation system brings to the state, its communities and its wide range of users. The study will update economic data at Washington’s public use airports, and also produce an online economic calculator that will allow users to explore “what if” scenarios at individual airports. Decision makers can use this tool to explore economic development opportunities and weigh investment choices.
The Aviation Economic Impact Study is scheduled for completion in January 2012.
