Airport Community Panel
The Airport Community Panel (ACP) is an advisory board made up of representatives of major community stakeholder groups that are more closely involved in the project than the public at large. The ACP serves several important functions including: representing a broad range of stakeholder groups, receiving information about the environmental review and sharing it with constituencies; providing input to the environmental review as the voice of key stakeholders ensuring public concerns and aspirations are considered; and, in some cases, providing technical advice to the environmental review team.
The second meeting of the ACP will take place on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at the Crystal Airport. Members of the public are welcome to attend the ACP meeting as observers. The agenda will include a brief public comment period at the end of the meeting to answer questions or listen to comments from the public.
Meeting minutes and other documents associated with the ACP meetings can be found on the Documents and Links page.
