Case Studies
Questionnaire To Airport Sponsors
The survey below was distributed to airport sponsors of nominated case study airports.
Dear Airport Sponsor,
On behalf of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, RW Armstrong is
compiling a Guidebook on the Best Management Practices for Leasing and Developing Airport
Property. Our objective is to develop a Guidebook for airport management and other relevant
stakeholders to implement leasing guidelines, property management and development bench-
marks, and sample development agreements in the context of airport improvement and expan-
sion. This Guidebook will be applicable to airports of all sizes. One or more projects at your airport
have been nominated based on the following criteria: project(s) completed within the past 5 years,
diversity and innovative alliance(s) of stakeholders, financing model(s), and those that optimized
public and private investments.
In order to further evaluate the nominated project(s), we ask that you describe the project(s)
in the following manner:
1. What was the name of the project?
2. When was the project completed?
3. Please describe the stakeholders involved (cities, counties, states, the FAA, and economic
development entities are examples of stakeholders you might consider).
4. How did this project stimulate economic activity in terms of job creation and/or other impact
to the local economy?
5. To what extent does this project produce revenue for the Airport Sponsor?
6. What, if any, innovative financial tools, grants, abatements, and/or incentives were employed
in this project?
7. How, if applicable, was public and private investment leveraged in this project to entice new
economic activity worthy of benchmarking by other public airports?
