The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will host public meetings this week on the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for Charlotte Douglas International Airport’s (CLT) proposed fourth parallel runway and other projects. The meetings will help residents learn about the EIS and the proposed projects, and help define the purpose and scope of the study.
When/Where:
April 24, 2018 at 7 p.m.
Embassy Suites, 4800 S. Tryon St.
Charlotte, NC 28217.
April 26, 2018 at 7 p.m.
West Mecklenburg High School Cafeteria
7400 Tuckaseegee Rd., Charlotte, NC 28214.
RSVP: Kathleen.Bergen@faa.gov or 404-660-7123.
Media may arrive at the venues at 6:30 p.m. to tour the displays and interview an FAA official about the EIS.
Attendees will view displays and hear a presentation covering the environmental topics that the EIS will cover. They also may speak with the experts who are conducting the study. The EIS will evaluate potential environmental impacts that may result from the Airport’s proposed projects, which include a 12,000-foot-long fourth parallel runway, associated taxiways, and terminal and ramp expansion. The project would require the decommissioning of Runway 5/23 and relocation of West Boulevard. Details on the project are at CLTEIS.com.
Attendees also will have opportunities to comment on the proposed projects at the meeting and by mail and email until May 7, 2018.
