Officials at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport are hosting an open house July 17 to allow the public to meet airport officials and learn about the master plan process.

Nearby residents in Chamblee and Brookhaven have expressed concerns that noise and pollution from airplanes will grow as the airport predicts a rise in the number of aircraft flying in and out over the next 20 years.

The airport, more commonly known by its FAA abbreviation “PDK,” had to go through the city for the plans, since it hopes to skirt certain design rules for security purposes. Officials involved in the process are working on details in the design that need to be ironed out. The public will be updated on plans for airport expansion at the airport.

Anyone interested in understanding more about PDK’s airport master plan is welcome to attend the open house which takes place July 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Chamblee Civic Center, 3540 Broad Street, Chamblee.
