The Westchester County Airport benefits from the participation of several county departments involved in land use and operations planning at the airport.
The Department of Public Works and Transportation, the Department of Planning, and the contracted operator AvPORTS are all involved in ensuring that physical and operational improvements are implemented in a coordinated and comprehensive manner, and in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Over the years, many planning documents have been developed and some have achieved some degrees of implementation. These major documents which guide the capital and operating investments at the airport include:
- Airport Master Plan, 1980
- Statement of Airport Policy, Resolution 266-1985
- The February 1987 Master Plan Update
- The December 2003 Security Master Plan
- Airport Terminal Use Regulations, codified 2005
- The FAA approved Airport Layout Plan
In addition, several studies have been undertaken over the years to deal with improvements to the aircraft deicing process, and in 2010, a study was completed to identify improvements to the Airport’s existing storm water management system. In 2012, a new Airport Layout Plan (ALP) was initiated to be compliant with new FAA regulations.
