In 2006, St. Clair County, owner and operator of the MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, initiated an Airport Master Plan Update. The Master Plan Update is a forward-looking process that will determine requirements for the modernization and expansion of both the landside and airside facilities to meet anticipated demand at the Airport over the next 20 years. The completion of the planning effort will result in the development of the following two documents:
- Airport Master Plan Report - A written report that technically justifies and provides support for the proposed developments detailed in the Airport Layout Plan.
- Airport Layout Plan (ALP) – A graphical depiction of the development of the airport over the 20-year planning period.
This comprehensive study will provide the Airport, the County, and surrounding communities, with goals and guidelines for future airport development that will meet aviation demand, while also addressing community issues, and ensuring environmental compatibility.
Phase I will assess the market opportunities that could contribute to growth in aeronautical and non-aeronautical activity, and will identify the capacity and capabilities necessary to support this growth. Phase II of the process will prepare development alternatives to identify the options for providing the capacity and capability requirements, and will include a strategic alternatives analysis process designed to evaluate options within the context of commercial opportunities, regional benefit, cost, and impact.
Community Involvement is key to the Master Plan process, and as such, the Master Plan Update Study Progress will be documented, and interim study reports will be posted on this website as soon as they become available for public review. Community participation will be solicited through this website, through stakeholder briefings, and through a public meeting in Phase II.
A previous MidAmerica St. Louis Airport Master Plan was completed in 1989 prior to construction of the Airport.
