City Seeks Public Input to Inform Aurora Airport Good-Neighbor Policies

March 5, 2022 — The City of Wilsonville is soliciting public input to better understand how our community interacts with the Aurora Airport. This feedback will inform good-neighbor policies to be established as an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

Located just 1.6 miles south of Wilsonville city limits, the Aurora Airport is a neighbor of great regional significance. The City recognizes that any changes at the state’s fourth-busiest aviation facility may affect our community in both positive and negative ways.

The City’s Planning Department is hosting two virtual open forums, March 9-10, to gather information from community stakeholders. No pre-registration is required; participants may log onto Zoom at either meeting time listed below.

• Wednesday, March 9 at noon
• Thursday, March 10 at 6 pm

Airport stakeholders may also provide input online at LetsTalkWilsonville.com. Registered users of the City’s public engagement site may complete a brief survey between now and 11:59 pm on Sunday, Mar. 13.

• Take the Survey

Feedback gathered from the survey and the open house events is to directly inform The City’s work to prioritize airport outcomes most beneficial to Wilsonville. These priorities are to serve as policy directives in an amended Comprehensive Plan.
