master plan to this project. This will add only the taxiways leading to the area and the helipad and
roads. In addition, the FAA has agreed to fund the noise monitoring system at 90% instead of the
80% previously anticipated.
The helicopter area is being built in anticipation of an eventual helicopter FBO being developed
on this site along with the emergency services area. The development of the access to these areas
and the associated helipad will enhance the ability for private developers to complete the remainder
of the area at a future time.
