EIS and Master Plan

The FAA has completed preparing the T.F. Green Airport Improvement Program DEIS which evaluates the environmental consequences of the proposed T.F. Green Airport Improvement Program.  Click here to link to the EIS site and read more.

The official comment period on the DEIS began on July 16, 2010 and goes through September 15, 2010.

A public hearing will be held on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at the Community College of Rhode Island-Knight Campus Auditorium.  Registration begins at 5:30PM and the hearing starts at 6:00PM.

The public hearing is an opportunity for the community to provide comments on the DEIS. All oral comments presented in person at the Public Hearing will be recorded by a stenographer and a transcript of comments will be prepared.

Comments can also be submitted in writing to richard.doucette@faa.gov.

T.F. Green Airport is a medium hub commercial service airport currently serving over five million passengers per year with approximately 200 daily operations. The projected growth at T.F. Green is anticipated to be eleven million passengers and 630 daily operations by 2020.

In early 2001, the Rhode Island Airport Corporation (RIAC), the project sponsor, began to develop an update to its Master Plan for T.F. Green to identify those improvements that would be needed to accommodate the anticipated growth in aircraft operations and passengers in the short and long term.

Potential improvements considered a range of projects, including: resurfacing Runway 16-34 and improving the safety areas at its runway ends, extending Runway 5-23 to 7,500 feet to address short term runway needs, as well as extending Runway 5-23 to address long term runway needs. Other projects being studied include terminal and concourse expansion, parking and roadway improvements.
