Master Plan Advisory Committee (PAC) to hold first meeting

The Coos County Airport District will soon begin updating the long-range Master Plan for the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. As part of this effort, the District has identified members of a Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) and set its first meeting for January 2026.

The PAC will play an important role in providing input and feedback throughout the Airport Master Plan update process. It is made up of stakeholders, CCAD board representatives, and residents of the Airport Heights neighborhood.

The first meeting of the group is scheduled for January 27, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Airport Terminal Board Room located on the 3rd Floor, 1100 Airport Lane, North Bend, OR 97459. The public is invited to attend in person or virtually; however, there is no planned public comment period on the agenda. An open house will be held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the main floor of the terminal.  Ardurra Group, LLC will be leading the meetings, and representatives will be available during the open house.

A copy of the current master plan document is available on this page. A link to the meeting will be provided on the meeting notice. For more information, contact the airport administration office at (541) 756-8531.

 

2013 Master Plan

The Coos County Airport District last updated the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport (OTH) Master Plan in October 2013. The purpose of the update to the Master Plan was to establish the vision for this vital facility and chart the new course for the upcoming 20-year period.

The study recommends a course of action, detailing the optimum way the Airport can grow over time to meet aviation transportation needs and at the same time provide opportunities for increased economic stimulus to the region.

The Master Plan Advisory Committee was comprised of key leaders and representatives from the community, Airport leaders, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the State of Oregon, local planning professionals, airport users and tenants, neighborhood and community groups, among others.

The Airport Master Plan Update was sponsored by the Coos County Airport District for Coos County, Oregon and funded by the Airport in conjunction with grants from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Master Plan Consultant was Reynolds, Smith and Hills, Inc., who produced and managed the project.
