Planning for the Future: Airport Master Plan
Pierce County initiated the Pierce County Airport-Thun Field Master Plan to identify 20-year improvements for the airport. The master plan identifies long-term needs for facilities, equipment and services to position Pierce County Airport-Thun Field to accommodate community growth.
The 18-month process to update the master plan began in October 2017. The plan:
- Position the airport to meet community growth and interests
- Accommodate existing and future aviation demands as envisioned by Pierce County
- Align recommendations with Pierce County revenue and return benefit
- Meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety standards and grant assurances
Pierce County now has a year-by year facility improvement plan which brings projects, people, and funding resources together in a coordinated manner.
