Current Status

The Port of Portland is nearing completion of an environmental assessment of the proposed parallel runway project at Hillsboro Airport. The Port is working with a consultant team led by CH2M HILL and providing regular updates to the Hillsboro Airport Issues Roundtable, an all-volunteer group that advises the Port on airport issues.

The project environmental assessment analyzes different project alternatives and establishes the existing environmental conditions around the site. When completed, it will be reviewed by the Federal Aviation Administration, the lead federal agency on the project, and open to public review and comment. An initial open house on the project was held in September 2008; approximately 50 people attended, and public input has been solicited throughout the project via the Port Web site, Hillsboro Airport Issues Roundtable meetings, and other Hillsboro Airport events.

The draft environmental assessment is anticipated to be completed in fall 2009. A public open house and hearing will be held in early November, and written public comments will also be accepted. Information about the project will also be made available at the Hillsboro Airport Open House on October 24, 2009. Please visit our calendar of events on the Hillsboro Airport page for more information.
