The
Stafford Regional Airport Authority is committed
to providing and promoting a safe, efficient,
convenient and economically self-sustaining air
transportation facility responsive to airport-user
and community needs while supporting and promoting
the Region’s economic growth and development.
"A
mile of roadway gets you a mile down the road.
A mile of runway gets you anywhere in the world."
Aviation
and airports impact our lives daily, directly
and indirectly, with the transportation of people,
goods and mail — locally and around the
world. And airports are economic engines for the
communities that they serve — supporting
business and creating jobs. According to the Federal
Aviation Administration the Stafford Regional
Airport, and general aviation airports just like
it, create an economic activity impact of $64.5
billion to the Nation’s economy.
Careful
and thoughtful planning has ensured the Authority’s
role as a steward of the land — with two
stormwater retention facilities, a 70-acre perpetual
conservation easement area and a 50-acre wetland
area designed to protect and enhance the environment
around the Airport and in our community.
The
Stafford Regional Airport Authority understands
the interdependence of social progress, economic
success and environmental excellence as the cornerstones
of a community’s quality of life foundation
and so, is committed to being a good neighbor.
