Boulder Municipal Airport (BDU) is a general aviation airport that offers business, private and recreational aviation services to the city and surrounding communities.
Through the project, the city will develop a deeper understanding of the community’s desired future for the airport. It will provide city leadership with a community-supported scenario for the future of the site to help guide next steps while being mindful of the city’s long-term commitments to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

San Lazaro and Vista Village Bilingual Community Meetings Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the bilingual community meetings is to provide input and recommendations to the project team. The bilingual community meetings at Vista Village and San Lazaro are intended to allow the project team to work directly with nearby residents in a bilingual setting. These meetings are intended to have the same level of engagement as the project’s Community Working Group.
The community meetings will allow residents to collaborate with the project team to provide input on a range of scenarios for the future of BDU. The community meeting participants will be mindful of FAA obligations, including preserving and enhancing safety.
The community meeting participants will collaborate with the project team to:
- Understand the Existing Conditions: The group will discuss the current conditions of the airport site, the ongoing operations at the airport, FAA obligations and its role in the community.
- Understand the Community’s Vision for the Airport: The group will discuss goals and aspirations for the future of the airport and incorporate community member feedback from a variety of engagement venues.
- Inform Community Priorities for the Airport: The group will help inform and evaluate a range of scenarios (short- and long-term) that are mindful of safety and FAA obligations. The group will provide feedback and input from each person’s perspective and lived experience and incorporate community member feedback.
