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.
