Airport Master Plan

Stillwater Regional Airport (SWO) has embarked on a planning process to develop a Master Plan, which serves as a roadmap for the Airport’s future development. A Master Plan also provides continuity, in terms of a common understanding and common goals, for the Airport Advisory Board and Airport Leadership regarding management and development decisions.

The purpose of the Master Plan is to prepare a detailed future facilities plan for needed improvements that accommodate anticipated aviation demand, along with a financial plan to support the implementation of the resulting long-term capital improvement program.

The Master Plan will guide the layout, improvement, and expansion of SWO’s physical facilities over the next 20 years by identifying possible new projects supporting SWO’s long-term viability and enhancing facility safety, while supporting economic development and the Airport’s commitment to be a good neighbor.

The Airport must have a current Airport Layout Plan (an output of a Master Plan) to be eligible for project funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA provides 90% of the funding for the planning process.
