Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Discuss Next FAA/Caltrans grant request for the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan.

This is a general discussion of the anticipated near-term airfield capital improvement project at Buchanan Field Airport. The current Buchanan Field Master Plan was completed in late 2018 and the Airport Layout Plan is in process of being updated. However, Buchanan Field has experienced significant changes over the years including JSX’s scheduled charter service, growth in business jets being located at and utilizing the airport. These changes often impact the design aircraft to be used for determining runway and taxiway geometry on the airfield. Airports staff will submit a federal grant application to complete the master plan process in the next year or two depending upon availability of FAA funding for this project.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

This project is eligible for FAA funding. The total estimated project cost is $850,000. A grant application requesting approximately $765,000 will be submitted to the FAA to complete the Master Plan process; including community outreach.
