The airport has served the public since 1945 and is one of the Lower Hudson Valley’s most important economic engines, as well as a convenient alternative to NYC’s major airports.

The County is upgrading the Airport’s Master Plan to ensure the airport maintains its viability throughout the 21st century, while remaining a good neighbor to surrounding communities. To achieve that balance, the County wants input from residents, homeowners, community organizations, businesses, and environmentalists about the Airport’s future.

Westchester County is studying opportunities to increase the airport’s value to residents and businesses, while addressing the important noise and environmental concerns related to any eventual improvements. It is vital to get community input as the process begins again, following the unprecedented pandemic.
