The Casa Grande Municipal Airport is owned and operated by the City of Casa Grande. The Airport serves small, general aviation aircraft. The City has employed aviation consultants to undertake an airport master plan to address future runway confi gurations and include strategies to enhance the capacity of the airport to serve commercial and other types of business uses. The draft airport master plan currently includes proposals for a 4,750 foot southwesterly extension of the existing runway for a total ultimate runway length of 8,400 feet. In addition, the plan considered construction of new exit taxiways, and a new 3,650 foot parallel runway located north and west of the existing runway. Noise contours for the fi nal airport confi guration will be developed as part of this process.
