San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (Airport Authority) has received an Environmental Achievement Award for its Airport Development Plan (ADP) Outreach.
The award from the Airports Council International-North America (ACI-NA) recognises the airport’s outreach, education, and communication efforts surrounding the ADP which envisions the replacement of Terminal 1 with a more modern facility and other improvements that enhance the airport experience for everyone.
. More than 100 meetings were conducted with educational institutions, business groups, chambers of commerce, local and state elected officials, and local community groups. Additionally, the Airport Authority worked extensively with regional partner agencies to ensure that the airport could be seamlessly connected to the region’s transportation and transit infrastructure.
“The ADP outreach plan took a proactive and intentional approach to bring the Draft Environmental Impact Report to the community to ensure stakeholders were heard, input and concerns were received and we responded appropriately,” said Kimberly Becker, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority President and CEO. “We appreciate ACI-NA’s recognition of SAN’s comprehensive and collaborative approach to community outreach.”
While the ADP was approved to move forward in January, the impacts of COVID-19 have paused all capital improvement projects, including the ADP.
