with four gates would begin between 2024 and 2025 with the terminal projected to open in 2026.
Other Fairview residents said they are concerned about the impact to the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary, which is home to migrating birds among other wildlife. The sanctuary is on the flight path, but was not included in the environmental study area, residents said. Average daily departures in 2026 could range from four to 20. The preliminary environmental analysis is based on 20 daily departures to estimate the greatest impact to traffic, noise and water resources.The majority of the environmental study area is contained within city-owned, airport property and will not impact wetlands or floodplains, as the majority of those resources are located northeast of the project area, according to preliminary study maps.
Noise contour maps for 2026 show a wider range of noise impact to the south because the majority of departures take off in that direction. During afternoon rush hour, cars heading eastbound on FM 546 will increase by 299 in 2026 if the commercial terminal is built, according to preliminary studies. Currently, 897 cars head eastbound on FM 546 during afternoon rush hour.
