Airport master plan, solar array and perimeter fence cited as part of Arlington’s growth plans
Summary
The mayor said the Arlington Airport is updating its master plan, has installed a solar array at the airport office, is replacing perimeter fencing, and is planning a "hometown fly-in" event to coincide with the street fair in July.
Mayor (name not specified) reported progress at Arlington Airport, including an airport master‑plan update, a recently installed solar panel array at the airport office, phased perimeter-fence replacement, underground fiber installation and plans for a community "hometown fly-in" event.
"Last year, a large solar panel array was installed at the airport office that provides power to the building," the mayor said, and added that the fence work is being done in phases to increase security and reduce wildlife intrusion.
The nut graf: City staff and an airport committee are coordinating the master plan, which will designate business-development areas and upgrades. Work to improve Internet connectivity with underground fiber aims to serve businesses on airport property. The mayor also announced a new community event for pilots and residents planned for July, with shuttle service tied to the street fair.
Ending: The mayor framed airport improvements as part of broader economic development and invited community participation in the planned fly‑in and related activities.
