About the Master Plan
An Airport Master Plan is a document that helps to guide the direction of public use airports, such as Phillipsburg Municipal Airport, by looking at factors such as:
- Current and potential future demand
- Efficiency and safety of airport operations
- Land use on and around the airport
- Future growth and ways to generate revenue.
It is a proactive document that identifies and then plans for future facility needs to ensure that airport management can coordinate project approvals, design, financing, and construction to avoid experiencing detrimental effects due to inadequate facilities.
The ultimate goal of the study is to provide systematic guidelines for the airport’s overall maintenance, development, and operation, all while taking into consideration the community it serves.

Public Involvement
Community involvement in the planning process is key to the project’s success. A Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) is established during the project initiation and consists of a group of airport stakeholders who have been asked to aid in the study process. The role of the PAC is to provide input and feedback throughout the process, which each member representing a different organization or perspective.
The public is also invited to participate in the planning process. All community members are encouraged to engage in the process and provide comments to the project team. Two public information workshops will also be held at various points in the process. The workshops will be conducted in an open-house format where attendees will have the opportunity to speak with the planning team one-on-one to learn about the Master Plan and ask questions. The workshops will be advertised locally and on this website once dates/locations have been determined.
