Public participation is essential to the planning and development of the Virginia Highlands Airport. To address questions or concerns the community may have regarding the planning process and the Study findings, three public participation meetings and a public hearing will be held to provide information on the following subjects:
1) Environmental Assessment introduction and purpose and need of proposed action
2) Alternative Analysis
3) Environmental Consequences
4) Draft EA (public hearing – conducted by VA Department of Environmental Quality)

The meetings will be scheduled upon completion of each major milestone described above and will be advertised locally to allow the public to plan their attendance.

Public notices of the meetings will also be posted on this website as they are released for publication.
