The Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport, a critical economic driver for Southwest Wyoming, is currently updating the Airport Master Plan that serves as the 20-year blueprint for the future layout, improvements, and expansion of the Airport’s physical facilities. The Study will recommend improvements to accommodate existing and forecasted demand. The recommendations from this Study will replace outdated recommendations from the 2015 Master Plan and address airport facility needs for both short- and long-term planning purposes.
As part of this master planning process, community engagement is critical. To that end, the Airport will be hosting a public open house to share updates on the process and solicit public input. The public open house will begin with brief presentation to introduce the Master Plan process and schedule, summarize the work completed to date, and present the conceptual development plan. This presentation will be followed by an open house where the consultant team and Airport staff will be available to provide information, answer questions, and receive comments on the Master Plan.
“The Airport is committed to hearing the voices of our community as we map out the long-term future of the airport,” stated Airport Director Devon Brubaker. “Oftentimes, the services and connectivity sought by the community must be supported by infrastructure. This must also be coordinated alongside ongoing industry trends like aircraft upgauging.”
The Airport looks forward to meeting with the community:
When: Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm
Where: Sweetwater Events Complex, Bison Room

Rock Springs, WY 82901
