Copalis Beach airport meeting

Did you know Copalis Beach is actually considered a “state-maintained airport”? It is, and here’s an up-coming meeting, to prove it:

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Aviation is hosting a public meeting to receive input on the State-Managed Airports Handbook. 

When:  Tuesday, September 22, 2009 / 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Where: North Beach Junior / Senior High School, School Library, 336 State Route 115, Ocean Shores, WA 98569 / School Contact:  360-289-2447

During the meeting, the public will learn more about the:

• State-managed airports system
• Key facts about Copalis Beach Airport
• Development of the handbook
• Draft guidelines

Through a facilitated discussion the public will be able to provide comment on the handbook and proposed guidelines pertaining to Copalis Beach State Airport, or any of the other state-managed airports.  This input will help to shape the draft handbook, which will be available for a 30-day public comment period beginning on September 22, 2009.

WSDOT will host additional public meetings to receive input on the handbook at other state-managed airports in the coming weeks.  Please visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/aviation/WSDOTManagedAiportsStudy.htm for updated meeting schedules and announcements.
