A workshop will be held tonight as part of the Peachtree DeKalb Airport master planning process.

The general-aviation facility is owned by DeKalb County and averages 230,000 takeoffs and landings annually. Formally, its name is the DeKalb-Peachtree Airport.

As part of the two-year process of outlining the airport’s long-term goals and a strategic plan, airport leaders are soliciting public input.

The workshop will be held tonight, Nov. 15, from 6 to 8 p.m at the Chamblee Community Building at 3496 Keswick Dr.

Residents who live near the airport or are interested in its future are also asked to fill out an online survey. Find the survey at https://www.pdkmasterplan.com/get-involved/.

A website has been created to provide the public with updates about the Peachtree DeKalb Airport master planning process.
