PDK Airport's MISSION STATEMENT

Adopted 1992

“Our mission ... to operate a business oriented airport in a safe, efficient, and fiscally responsible manner and to preserve the quality of life recognizing a partnership between residential and general aviation interests.”

The airport will serve aviation interests in a manner consistent with the adopted policies and goals of the Board of Commissioners of DeKalb County, including the goals and policies of the 1986 Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the County. The Board of Commissioners shall consult with appointed committees and neighborhood representatives in the development of airport policy. This will be achieved through reasonable and responsible airport management decisions made under the direction of the Chief Executive Officer.

There shall be no expansion of current boundaries except when:

1) the property is required for safety and can be designated as a permanent green space, or

2) the property is acquired for noise abatement purposes and will be restricted to

compatible land use which does not include expansion of runways and taxiways.
