Airport community update

Community Working Group provides input on draft scenarios

The Airport Community Conversation is an engagement process that aims to understand the community's vision for the future of the Boulder Municipal Airport. The project includes a Community Working Group (CWG) to provide input and recommendations to the project team to support the process.

The CWG met on Wednesday, June 7. Based upon the initial round of community engagement between January to May, the project team shared desired short-term action items and four draft long-term scenarios with the CWG.

Those items can be found on the project CWG webpage. The CWG shared their initial feedback on the action items and scenarios and discussed what they liked and disliked about each scenario.

This initial feedback will help refine the action items and scenarios that will be shared at the public open house on Tuesday, July 18.

We invite your input and questions and appreciate your interest in this important conversation!

"A variety of ideas, aspirations and lived experiences will help us understand how the airport fits into the community’s vision for Boulder."
