A decision on land-use jurisdiction at the Nanaimo Airport remains in a holding pattern as more public input is collected.
The Regional District of Nanaimo and City Spaces, a Victoria consulting firm hired by the RDN last spring to gather information on airport land use, is hosting a third public meeting Wednesday (March 7) from 7-9 p.m. at the Western Maritime Institute, 3519 Hallberg Rd. in Cassidy.
Paul Thompson, RDN manager of long range planning, said public meetings held in Nanaimo and Parksville in November proved difficult for some people to get to and requests were made for a third meeting.
“We tried to schedule a meeting for December and that didn’t really work either,” he said.
Along with public feedback, City Spaces met with different airport interest groups over the summer, discussing jurisdiction issues at Nanaimo Airport.
“Hopefully after this meeting we will be able to get all the input into a report and that will be given to the [RDN] board and made public,” said Thompson.
