The report also includes a proposal to meet near-term aviation demand at two or more existing airports while the work to locate a new airport continues and a proposal to extend the CACC\u2019s final recommendation deadline to 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six preliminary airport sites are Arlington Municipal\nAirport, Bremerton National Airport, Paine Field (Snohomish County Airport),\nSanderson Field Airport (Shelton), Tacoma Narrows Airport (Gig Harbor), and Ed\nCarlson Memorial Field (South Lewis County Airport). These airports could meet\nsome of the demand for air passenger service, air cargo operations and\/or\ngeneral aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe list of six potential sites should only be considered\npreliminary because it only includes existing airports at this time,\u201d said\nDavid Fleckenstein, CACC chair. \u201cAdditional work needs to be done to identify\npotential sites that may be more appropriate for a major airport. The work of\nthe CACC was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which constrained\nopportunities for community engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A critical next step for CACC is to engage the public to\ncollect input about Washington\u2019s future air transportation demand. The CACC has\nheard many concerns about noise and the effects on the environment and society.\nFuture work will provide an opportunity to consider measures to reduce both\nnoise and harmful emissions from aircraft. Some of those measures may include\nthe potential use of Community Benefits Agreements at select airports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CACC\u2019s next upcoming virtual webinar will be in February\nand next official meeting in the spring. The website will be updated as soon as\nthe dates are confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report was requested by the Washington state Legislature in <a href=\"http:\/\/lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov\/biennium\/2019-20\/Pdf\/Bills\/Session%20Laws\/Senate\/5370-S.SL.pdf\">Substitute Senate Bill 5370<\/a> to meet Washington\u2019s aviation capacity needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commercial Aviation Coordinating Commission released its Phase I report that includes several recommendations, including a preliminary list of six airport sites with potential for expansion.
