Northwest Quadrant - Available site development space has become increasingly limited in the airport's current terminal area. A primary objective of the study was to identify an alternative development area to accommodate future landside de- velopment functions and promote economic development. North of the airport and adjacent to the Nash Road Industrial Park, the proposed Northwest Quadrant contains ap- proximately 126 acres for aviation and other potential inter -modal development opportunities. Specific development items highlighted in this area include the development of air cargo facilities and a future development area for corporate avia- tion expansion. Support facilities, including an on-site Airport Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) facility and a co -located Snow Removal Equip- ment (SRE) building, are also sited in the Northwest Quadrant. Funding Approximately $30 million in capital improvements and land acquisition have been identified for the 20 -year planning period. Most of these proj- ects are eligible for federal grants through the Federal Aviation Ad- ministration's Airport Improvement Program (AIP). Aviation user fees, fuel taxes and other revenue sources support these funds. The Missouri Capital Improvement Plan ($ millions) Department of Transportation has programs available from taxes on aviation fuel sales that also provide up to 90% funding for eligible proj- ects. Based on these and other non - local sources, the proposed Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport shows a local contribution of 18 to 20 cents on the dollar. Updates to the Capital Improvement Plan will oc- cur on an annual basis to reflect that year's current priorities and/or fund- ing availability.

Limbaugh Jr. Memorial Drive Cape Girardeau, MO 63701 (573)334-6230 1 MASTER PLAN • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY REGIONAL AIRPORT Background The Cape Girardeau Regional Air- port, owned and operated by the City of Cape Girardeau, plays a significant role in serving the com- mercial, military, cargo, general, and corporate aviation demands of the southeastern Missouri region. The airport is located in Scott County approximately five (5) miles to the southwest of central Cape Girardeau. Its location adjacent to Interstate 55 allows convenient access to both St. Louis to the north and Memphis to the south. The Cape Girardeau Regional Air- port can trace its historical roots back to 1942, when it was known as Har- ris Field and used as a training base for U.S. Army Air Force pilots. The City of Cape Girardeau acquired the property in 1947 after the training school was closed and the facility reverted to surplus property status. Since that time the airport has been expanding its facilities to accommo- date the growing needs of the avia- tion community and the public that utilizes its services. Today the Cape Girardeau Regional Airport encompasses approximately 557 acres of land. Primary airfield fa- cilities consist of a 6,500 -foot by 150 - foot primary runway and a 4,000 - foot by 100 -foot secondary crosswind runway. A Category I Instrument Landing System on Runway 10 pro- vides precision approach minimums of 200 -foot ceilings and 1/2 mile visi- bility. Primary landside facilities con- sist of a passenger terminal facility, Fixed Base Operator (FBO) to service the general aviation activities of the airport, and various other hangars for storage of aircraft. The Cape Girardeau Regional Airport is designated as a non -pri- mary commercial service airport accommodating upwards of 10,000 enplaned passengers per year. It is presently served by American Connection and provides regularly scheduled connecting service to American Airlines' hubsite at Lam- bert International Airport in St. Louis, Missouri. The airport also con- tinues to play an expanding role in serving the corporate aviation needs of southeast Missouri. In particular, the airport has experienced strong demand for hangars to house the growing fleet of corporate aircraft based at the airport. In addition to new hangar con- struction, a new 48,000 -square -foot aircraft manufacturing facility for Renaissance Aircraft LLC was re- cently built. This business, which is expected to create up to 200 new jobs for the community, is representative of the type of successful economic development achievements the air- port desires to position itself for into the long-term future. The Airport Master Plan Update was undertaken by the City of Cape Gi- rardeau to provide a framework for long-term development and identify specific facility improvements need- ed over the next twenty years. This plan updates the previous Master Plan approved by the FAA in 1991. Developing the new plan required the investigation of existing facili- ties, projection of future growth and requirements, and development of a range of alternatives. The FAA -ap- proved Airport Layout Plan (ALP) depicts the proposed long-term de- velopment. The City established a Planning Ad- visory Team as an informal advisory group to review and comment on the findings and recommendations of the study. The team, represented by a cross section of nine individuals from the community and the airport, met at key milestones during the project. The general public was also invited to a public information open house to obtain information and pro- vide feedback on the plan. Airport Development Program Airfield - The existing 6,500 -foot by 150 -foot primary runway (10/28) is generally sufficient to accommodate the takeoff requirements of aircraft anticipated to utilize the airport over the 20 -year planning period on a regular basis. A 500 -foot extension is included on the Airport Layout Plan to reflect the airport's objective of preserving opportunities for other potential operational scenarios, such as larger aircraft and/or longer stage length flights, which require longer runway length. Lengthening the crosswind runway (2/20) to 5,000 feet is necessary to provide a secondary runway capable of accommodating the requirements of regularly scheduled commercial aircraft. This increases the airport's availability during various wind and weather conditions and during times when the primary runway would be closed or otherwise unusable. Other airfield projects include pave- ment rehabilitations, reorientation of a portion of Taxiway "A", and exten- sion of Taxiway "D". Passenger Terminal - Although the size of the passenger terminal build- ing is adequate to meet passenger activity throughout the planning period, recent modifications to meet new security requirements have encroached on areas previously reserved for a potential second air carrier.
