ASPEN – — A Federal Aviation Administration official will meet with Pitkin County commissioners Tuesday to discuss the county’s development obligations at the local airport, among other issues.
Commissioners will spend a considerable portion of their work session Tuesday discussing issues related to an updated master plan for the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, a draft document that is nearing completion. The discussion begins at 1 p.m. in the Rio Grande meeting room off the library plaza and is slated to wrap up at 3:30 p.m.
For members of the public who haven’t followed the master-plan discussions closely, Tuesday’s meeting might be a good one to attend or catch on GrassRoots TV, said Jon Peacock, county manager.
“I think it’s going to give everyone a clear picture of what this process is,” he said.
The first 90 minutes of the session will be devoted to an overview of the master-plan process and current status of alternatives for future development. Aviation Director Jim Elwood recently announced reductions in the size of some components of the plan, including hangar space for private aviation on the west, or Owl Creek, side of the airport and in a proposed underground parking garage.
