I would expect it to be adopted by midyear.” At its Feb. 15 meeting, the Airport Board awarded a contract to engineering firms Walker Consultants and Crawford, Murphy & Tilly Inc. for a parking feasibility study regarding design and construction of the garage. Weiler said the roughly $98,000 study, which is expected to take about six months, was added to the agreement the airport already has with CMT. Even if the master plan is approved this year, Oxendine said the board’s work on it will continue. “The master plan is very much a living and breathing document,” she said. “While there may be a period where it will be officially blessed by the FAA and the work with the consultant on that will start to wrap up, we will continue to make updates to it.” • provided by SPRINGFIELD-BRANSON NATIONAL AIRPORT A rendering shows a parking garage west of the Roy Blunt Terminal at the Springfield-Branson National Airport, for which a feasibility study is in progress.
