    Airport Site Selection Study Final Analysis

    Uploaded by

    City of Griffin
    This document summarizes a study analyzing potential sites for a new airport to replace the existing Griffin-Spalding County Airport. It identifies Site 6 as the preferred site based on factors like cost, land availability, and meeting FAA safety standards. The summary outlines a potential funding timeline for development with local funds used for planning in 2009-2011 and federal funds covering most construction from 2012-2018. It compares capabilities and costs of Sites 6 and 7 to the existing airport, finding the new sites allow longer runways and better instrument approaches at a total cost of $56-74 million.

    The document discusses the results of a site selection study to identify potential new locations for an airport to replace the existing Griffin-Spalding County Airport, which is constrained in its ability to expand and modernize. Sites 6 and 7 were selected as the top candidates for further analysis based on factors like infrastructure requirements, environmental impact, construction feasibility, and compatibility with industrial development.

    The study evaluated potential sites according to infrastructure/land acquisition needs, environmental considerations, feasibility of construction, operational capability, and compatibility with industrial development.

    Sites 6 and 7 were selected as the top two sites to receive further detailed analysis, including development plans, cost estimates, environmental reviews, and consideration of adjacent industrial park concepts.

    Airport Site Selection Study


    Purpose: Determine If A Suitable Replacement Airport Site Exists In Spalding County Established Suitability Criteria for Ideal Site Used GIS Analysis to Focus on Ideal Areas and Eliminate Unacceptable Areas Reasoning: Cost Of Replacement Airport May Be Less Than Upgrading Existing Airport

    Site Selection Methodology

    Eight Sites Selected for Preliminary Screening

    Note: Sites are labeled randomly; not according to degree of suitability.
