The Town-owned airport serves an important role to provide capacity

area and specifically Dulles International Airport. Locally, the airport is critical
for the overall economic development and diversification initiatives of the ToWI:l

encroaching residential development, are major concerns for the sustainable
operation of the airport in the future.
The service plan for the airport is a document intended to provide
guidance for growth and development at the airport, as well as for future capital
improvement projects related to the airport.
