Lancaster Airport Runway Extension – Immediate plans are underway for a runway expansion from 5,000’ to 6,500’ and eventually 8,000’ to support larger corporate jets as well as freight capacity. To accommodate the requirements of corporate aviation and future expansion, pro-active infrastructure improvements on the runway, taxiways, lighting, hangars, utilities and Automated Weather Observation Systems have recently been made to Lancaster Airport. City leaders are working to design a future cargo-compatible runway as well as working to protect land surrounding the airport from residential encroachment with a “LanPort District.” This district prevents non-compatible uses in both the immediate and long-term future of the area.
