Question 2: Why do you feel that way about the airport? – 311 responses

Very Positive – 126 responses

• A great commuter airport location. The revenues generated from the airport filtering out to

local business. The noise abatement is managed very good.

• A hub of economic activity.

• All my experiences have been positives

• Atc accommodating, love nike hanger

• Because I love aviation and what it brings to a community.

• economic engine, good neighbor

• Efficient tower/ground clearances. Well maintained runways and taxiways.

• Ever since I was a little girl we we're in the flight path there we were laying in the backyard just

watching the airplanes come and go was the most relaxing thing. I have lived here 50 years in

Hillsboro

• Excellent administration. Small airport punching above its weight class.

• Excellent facility and it provided incredible economic impact for the region.

• Excellent location, very well situated to our Silicon Forest. While I know Intel operates their

private flights for employees, I honestly believe the next step for HIO is to attract Jet Suite X to

BFI (Boeing Field) or Horizon to Seattle 4 x daily. Jet Suite X only needs an FBO. While Horizon

would require some expense to create a sterile terminal.

• Exec's need to fly too

• Flown in and out many times. Parking is an issue but everything else works

• Full service, professionally managed air transportation hub.

• Good economic opportunity

• Good facilities

on the Westside of the Portland metropolitan region, without having to endure the 40-mile trek

to PDX.

• Hope it turns into an international airport

• I am a private pilot who did my primary training there. I appreciate having such a well kept

airport in the area and support general aviation training and operations there. I have not flown

in there for a while but look forward to getting back into flying again soon and having the airport

available for practice takeoffs and landings.

• I enjoy the airshow and watching the planes.

• I feel that the airport is useful for the town but I don't feel it's over used. I feel the air traffic is

light.

• I love living next door to the airport. It is clean, mostly quiet and the events held there bring

attention to our town and the community together.

necessary community services. My wife is an Intel employee and appreciates not having to drive

to PDX when she flies to San Jose.

nearby at Sunset airport.

• I'm a pilot and love flying

• I'm glad it is there

• Important economic engine for the area.

• Important location

• It brings a lot to the west side of the metro area.

• It brings business to Hillsboro, a vibrant city I'm proud to call home.

• It can serve the local population better by becoming a regional domestic airport

• It contributes to the local economy

• It has been a place for people from our community and from around the world to get their start

in aviation for many decades now.

• It has benefited the local community in many ways from Airshows to the flights that bring

people to the city. The aviation school has also given our local economy a boost.

• It has potential to become regional airport, for regular commericial flights from neighbouring

places like Seattle.

• It helps a new generation of pilots and provides a boost to the economy.

feels this way but I love getting to see all the smaller planes flying.

• It provides a valuable service to the Metro area, while working to be responsive to local

concerns.

• It provides jobs, activities, educational opportunities, and so much more, as well as

transportation. It is an integral part of the community.

• It serves the aviation-related needs for the metro west region.

• It serves the needs of the area, and has room to grow.

• It supports local pilots

• It very important to our communities future

• It’s a good gateway for the city of hillsboro

• It’s a really busy airport about the same as pdx

• It’s a valuable asset to the community, creating jobs, and bringing employees in and out.

• It’s quiet and doesn’t seem to negatively impact local roads at all.

• It's a great hub to PDX. When Cascadia hits, it may be the only way ARC, FEMA, and other

agencies get resources in

• It's a well-run and versatile field, and I have fond memories of it from the airshow and other

activities.

• It's convenient and it brings the airshow

• Its provides jobs to the area and puts money in the economy.

• It's very well located in our community and it will serve the west Metro as the area grows.

• Just the right size

• KHIO is an excellent training and reliever airport, and the Port works hard to be an active and

positive community member.

• Knowing it provides income for the city and county, and job's else where

area west of the West Hills, and does so responsibly.

• See below

• Seems to be a very active and productive airport

• Services are great and accessible.

• Support for General Aviation

• Supportive of the it's commerce

• The airport does what I would expect it to. Classes/ training, aircraft coming in and out. Not

close enough to day to day operations to assume they are not doing well.

• The airport has not bothered me in the past the airshow is amazing!

• The Airport is an important economic asset...for the City of Hillsboro and region. FBO operating

at the airport provide high wage jobs to their employees. The Airshow is of benefit to the City

and as put Hillsboro "on the map", attracting visitors from outside the city and contributing to

economic vitality.

• The annual airshow is good for the community, the business jets from Nike, Intel, and other

large businesses are good for local economy.

• There is so much potential for future use in air travel to alleviate congestion to PDX.

• They provide transport for companies that provide jobs here

• They seem to be aware of and care about the surrounding community

• Tons of opportunity for expansion

• Valuable asset for the community and personally for me

• Very functional and I don't even use it.

• We Need the Airport, It brings in $$, industry, Transportation, good for our economy.

Somewhat Positive – 76 responses

• A little more public access and ongoing info would be good.

• Airport layout is good but it feels like more more could be done with the airport. Its GA

somewhat friendly but it feels more like it's for corporate.

• As a near-by resident we've noticed since the "improved" runways the planes are larger and

take off very early in the morning waking us up. On Sundays even. NOT COOL.

• As long as they don't bring big jets in, I am fine with it.

• CLOSE TO MY HOME WITH GREAT POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE COMMERCIAL AIR SERVICE

• Convenient location

• Could use updating at “terminal” and street front

• Don't use it but feel it is a valuable part of our community.

• Enjoyed many flights from there. Not too busy.

• Glad it's here, hope it expands to offer passenger service someday.

• Good local access, well serviced.

• Good runways, tower staffed appropriately, everything in decent shape, good location , good

usage, just ticked about the broken PAPI for 31R and need to open more space to build hangers

• Great memories of my dad working there and the air show!

• Haven’t heard anything bad about it

• HIO was convenient when I worked at Intel and I have many friends who work or fly from there.

• Hosting the air show.

• Hosts the air show

• Husband can fly for work trips.

• I can see the benefits of having the opportunity for larger aircraft to come and go safely.

• I don’t interact directly with the airport often, but don’t have any complaints.

• I enjoy having the airport nearby, but I have no real need for the facilities as there are not

commercial flights.

• I like airports, and it is nearby.

• I live close to the airport, and while the noise is not too bad, there are times an early morning jet

flys right over my house waking me up

• I live in the neighborhood (Jones Farm) and we used to be bothered by the helicopter flights -

glad that has stopped...don't start it again.

• I live near it and it does not disrupt my life. But I'm not able to use it to make my life better.

• I think it needs updating

• I think it’s a good airport for its size but would like to see more regional flights come available

• I used to go there to watch the planes. Have taken kids to see airshows.

• I would like to see Horizon Air flights here. Why do only rich people get to fly out of Hillsboro.

• It doesn't offer air travel for the normal people that live on the Westside. It takes FOREVER to

get to PDX from here during most of the day. It would be nice to have a few small charter

companies available to hire for trips without having to go to PDX.

• It is a good neighbor

• It is a good, well functioning airport, but can get a little busy with all the students sometimes.

• It is convenient for the corporate planes

• It is fine just as long as it does not expand any larger. The city and surrounding neighborhoods

do not need more air traffic.

• It is getting very large for a regional airport this close to a major international

• It provides a necessary transportation hub for the local industrial companies

• It provides good general aviation services and has potential for commercial air service.

• It seems safe and we'll run.

• It serves a necessary purpose given the high tech / big business nature of our local area, e.g.

Intel, Nike, etc. However, since I live close to it just off 15th Ave I am concerned about lead and

other fuel related pollution. And... There is the noise factor that is getting worse. At a minimum,

the flight training needs to be relocated out of the residential area. Helicopters are THE WORST.

• It serves an important regional need.

• It would get a very positive but some planes fly way to low over my home in Beaverton, I'm

maybe 7-8 miles from the airport. It never used to happen

• It’d be nice if we had a puddle jumper from Hillsboro to PDX!

• It’s owned by Port of Portland which I feel has way too much power.

• It’s serving the community as intended but not the general public

• It's a need but noisy

• It's an economic driver in our community.

• I've always enjoyed watching the planes … altho lately the jets have been much noisier than

usual - and I really think we should keep the air show here!!!

• I've never used it but I'm glad it's there

• Letting to many people live and work near airport, dangerous in case of accidents and fumes

from planes.

• Like having it here, really enjoy the Air Shows.

• Live nearby

• Losing the air show to McMinnville was a huge loss for the Hillsboro community.

• Minuses of the noise and a massive obstacle to get from one side to another more than counter-

balanced by the value of the Intel Shuttle and the "fun" of seeing the various aircraft,

particularly during the Air Show.

• My only issue is with leaded fuel.

• Nice flight school.

• Nice to have a smaller airport for small planes, also heps to relieve traffic at PDX

• No answer

• No issues other than the fact the city of Hillsboro needs to improve the traffic flow getting to the

airport from the south. One lane roads just don’t cut it. It makes people think the city of

Hillsboro is clueless on how to plan their roads.

• No real negative feelings towards the airport

• No real reason to feel strongly either way but slight positive due to airshow and the work

convenience.

• Poor treatment by Port of Portland when I was a tenant and when I was representing a flight

school which was a tenant.

• Seems to work without issue

• Served a good function, keeps some green space available

• Since we moved here in 1977 we've seen the little airport in Beaverton close so it's probably

good for the area that we have the Hillsboro airport. Plus my husband and I enjoy seeing the

planes fly over. As long as it's limited to small and medium planes, I would like to see it develop

into so large a facility that larger planes were flying over.

• Supports business in Washington Co.

• The commerce it brings in and the air show.

• The new air traffic patterns has made it very loud, can’t wait for the construction to be done

• There are cool airplanes and show

• They are good neighbors.

• They are willing to work with the community.

• Tower is well located. Runway 2/20 needs to be updated as it looks like a taxiway. Buildings are

getting older. Needs a restaurant and bar on campus like KTIW as it would bring more

community involvement.

• Valuable community contribution to Portland and environs.

• what I read and hear from pilots

• Work - intel shuttle is awesome

• Worked at Intel, it was very helpful. Brings healthy amount of business to the area without being

overwhelmingly obnoxious.

• Worked at it for 30 years!!

Neutral – 62 responses

• Annual air show makes to much noise

• Because

• Because you guys let encroachment limit it. There should be regional airline service at HIO, but

that will never happen.

• Can not fly commercial out of the airport.

• Concerned about expansion, noise and air pollution

• Currently it does not provide any services useful to me.

• Don’t know much about the future plans.

• Don’t use it

• Don’t use it, though I would if there were commercial flights

• Don’t use yet overhead jet noise is wearisome

• Dont know much about it, cant fly thru there

• Don't really have an opinion

• Don't use

• Generally, air traffic isn’t too bad.

• Hate the close flying helicopters especially during summer time.

• I am 70 years old, lived in Beaverton my whole life and have only been to airport twice. Both

times for the air show. However, the PDX airport, I have been there, with no exaggeration,

thousands of times.

• I can’t use it. I fly commercial.

• I do not interact with it, i.e., I do not live near it or use it, though I do work near it.

• I don’t know anything about what services it provides for Hillsboro

• I don’t know much about it

• I don’t know much about it.

• I don’t live super close, 3 mi. Away so it doesn’t seem to affect day to day life. I dislike the

contaminants coming from the Planes during flight but I chose to move here knowing an airport

was close by

• I don't watch/read/listen to Hillsboro news, so I don't hear much about the airport. I don't use

the airport.

• I have very little dealings with the airport, therefore I am somewhat neutral.

• I live next to it and enjoy the planes and helicopter training I see but I personally don’t use it

• I never use it.

• I wish we had some regional commercial air service from Hillsboro. I don’t use it now.

• I work near the airport and I enjoy watching and hearing aircraft fly overhead. I enjoy the Air

Show (this has always and should continue to be a staple in Hillsboro). I have no negative

thoughts on the airport.

• I’ve flow out privately and in the dark it was hard to find the hanger but other than that was

fine.

• I'm curious about it's opportunities

• I'm sure it's a convenience for local corporations but doesn't affect me.

• It could do so more for us all - such as provide international passenger flights and enhanced

heavy cargo flights. I'd love to hit HIO for a flight than driving to PDX!

• It doesn’t have commercial flights.

• It doesn’t really affect me

• It doesn't affect me.

• It doesn't bother me much, but I know it bothers many in the community. I live in downtown

Hillsboro, not exactly nearby but fairly close.

• It doesn't serve me but doesn't bother me.

• It exists for the wealthy in this area.

• It is a great resource for the community but leaded fuel is a big issues.

• It is getting to loud

• It is nice to fly out of for business, but noisy.

• It is not an airport I can use, so I really don't care either way. Great for Intel and others that use

it though.

• It serves little impact on my life. I wish it could be more of use to the public.

• It serves the community.

• It's beneficial to industry and business, but not people. Plus it's noisy and polluting.

• It's for small planes and corporate jets. Average person doesnt use it.

• Just love watching the air shows

• Needs commercial services.

• Never read about it.

• Never used it, just driven past it.

• No commercial air service

• No longer out in the country.

• No opinion either way.

• Noise of jets is too loud going over our neighborhood

• Not much info about airport given to the public.

• Provides a service for local businesses without having too much of a negative impact on the

area.

• Rarely use it, have attended the Airshow there

• Reasons

• Receive very few news about the topic

• Should have passenger flights to nearby cities like Wenatchee, Yakima, Bend, etc. Relieve some

of the pressure off PDX.

• The airport was here when I moved here in 1988. I did enjoy a restaurant on site and would

encourage development of community openness to the facility in that sort of commerce.

• Would like to see more commercial flight options

Somewhat Negative – 36 responses

• Because it’s not of use to the normal population. It would be nice if there were actual flights.

• Disrespectful flight patterns of the Air Academy. Flights are often too low, during weekend

dinner times when we entertain, and on holidays. Also, the use of leaded fuel is a big concern

and one that needs remediated ASAP.

• Focus on growth with disregard for neighborhood impacts.

• Hate the airshow, fear the danger it poses to the neighborhoods especially when aircraft fly low

or strangely

• I am concerned about the use of aviation fuel that contains lead and contaminates the

surrounding area

• I don't know if it is because of the Hillsboro Airport, but that is definitely the closest place for

any plane to land near my house, and I am sick and tired of planes flying super low over my

house (in Bethany) in the middle of the night. They wake us up frequently. I don't know who to

call with a complaint, and it is very frustrating. Planes shouldn't be flying after 9 or 10 p.m.

• I don't think we can continue to afford rich people's private planes from an environmental

perspective.

• I don't use it and am not sure there is any need for it

• I live nearby and don’t like the noise

• I lived on the flight path. Too noisy and leaded gas concerns.

• In the last year the amount of planes coming through is far too many. The noise level is

extremely high especially when the sky starts to get clearer. I actually do not live that close to

the airport, however the noise level prevents my family from being able to sit outside our home.

We can't have conversations because it is too loud due to the air traffic.

• It exists because very wealthy people need a place to park their planes.

• It is loud!

• It's a private airport that only benefits those with alot of extra cash. It would be nice if it had

commercial service maybe for regional flights.

• It's not available to residents

• Lead fuel (AV Gas) used in smaller planes, lead pollution around the airport is a threat to public

health and children.

• Live on the flight path, over the years the number of planes have increased. As have the size

and the noise of the planes.

• Noise and catering to wealthy corporations

• Noise and pollution benefiting the few at great cost to the many. Quality of life deferred in

favor of Knight family toys.

• Noise from airplanes sometimes making circles from airport over my Orenco neighborhood,

over and over and over again. This can go on for many hours at a time. Most are at a fairly low

altitude. I understand and accept the need for flights to go in and out of the airport but the

repeated relentless flights looping around and around (I assume from a flight school) decrease

the quality of life here. I think the flight school benefits only a very few local people and a lot of

people who come here from other countries for training. Not a good tradeoff.

• Noise over neighborhoods

• Noise pollution has become an issue lately.

• Noise. Recently, too many jet flights have been taking of towards the south without weather

issues. It seems ton be either pilot choice or new training for the flights schools that don’t care

about Hillsboro livability.

• Noisy....pollution, more traffic.....to near neighborhoods.....just waiting for helicopter or plane

crash.....would be a disaster if a plane/helicopter would crash into one of Intels chemical storage

areas!

• Planes are noisy at times I think they should not be flying over houses....particularly early in the

morning.

• Planes fly to low over houses and the planes continue to get larger and louder

• The airport has become busier and is making more of an impact on the surrounding community.

• The Port commmissiobers ate insulated from the public and are representative of corporate

interests, not community livability. Commissioners should become an elective office that gives

communities representation. When the runway was under construction during the past year,

those smaller aircraft using alternate approaches did not adhere to prescribed elevations and

flew low and load over residential areas. The last air show in HILLSBORO supported helicopter

tours over residential areas, including Sunday. This is mahem and should not be allowed.

• The Port of Portland has consistently avoided and downplayed its role in helping its local

communities in the event of a catastrophic earthquake. I began my involvement on this topic by

sending emails to the Port on this topic. None of them were returned. I saw there was a meeting

in Hillsboro and reached out to the Washington County Commission Chair, Andy Van Duyck. He

asked the question for me during their early presentations. The Port officials were surprised and

deflected. He followed up. Supposedly it would be addressed. In follow up surveys, participants

were asked about whether they were interested in a new building or rehab to the old building,

and whether the siting should be changed. We were given various values and parameters to

consider—cost, amenable to new businesses, traffic needs etc. But nowhere where we given

earthquake resiliency as a value anywhere on the survey. And in fact, I can’t see to page two

year, but I can’t find that value on this current survey either. Throughout the process, I have

asked, and the Port has refused to give even a rough cost estimate for a runway that would

survive a major earthquake. Despite attending the meetings with Washington County, the open

houses, reading the updates, taking the surveys, I could never get a simple dollar amount. And

all they would say is that they couldn’t afford it. To me, that is a sign of lack of creative thinking.

The Port could go to the county with a proposal and see if they would seek a bond. Or go to the

major corporate users to see if they were interested. Port officials said that their contractors will

just show up and fix it afterward. When I explained there might not be fuel (see the tank farm!)

or roads for the contractors to reach them, they said those challenges were beyond their scope

to fix. The one big thing Port officials did was to consult with the military to confirm that military

has planes that would be able to land on a broken airfield. They also have generator backup

power. So that was a start. But I am far from satisfied. If you study the Fukushima 2011 Quake,

the Japanese were able to land commercial planes within two weeks of the earthquake. This

was incredibly important to their relief efforts. Given that the rivers will be largely impassable,

and Hillsboro will be closer to thousands of people at the coast and West Side, this is an

important piece of our survival. I think the problem lies in the fact that I do not have technical

expertise, so I have no standing in their eyes. Many people are thinking micro and stocking

bottled water and food, and all of that is important. But those of us who do think macro should

not be isolated and checked off as done. I understand that the Port has to respond to the FAA

and TSA first and foremost, a point made clear to me many times during my efforts. But at the

end of the day, their board is appointed by the governor, not by the TSA. I am sending a copy to

her team, as well as a couple of state senators. If I don't hear back from any of them, I will send

it to the press.

• The Port of Portland has never proposed anything to the community to vote on, they just

continue to force large aircraft and overflow traffic from PDX down a small community’s throats.

This airport and the community surrounding was never designed to be commercially used. This

was a known fact with all Hillsboro residents and had been discussed multiple times publicly

within the community before Port of Portland took over the operation. When the Max train

began running through Hillsboro, they made accommodations for the extra noise to local

residents affected by the additional noise(ie new windows, retaining walls etc). Port of Portland

has done nothing except make more pollution and more noise with a complete disregard for the

community. They cater to large corporations such as Nike and Intel allowing them to have large

private hangers on the property for a hefty price tag they stick back into their pockets. None of

this money goes back into the local community to provide assistance with taxes, schools, roads

etc. It’s terrible to see Portland agenda forced on outside lying communities without any say

from the people that live within it.

• The size of the planes coming in have gotten to big. 20 years ago they were smaller. Now it’s big

jet liners

• They’ve allowed large aircraft to come and go, which is very loud and disruptive compared to

the previous aircraft. They’ve chopped down many trees along Brookwood parkway so these

larger aircraft have better visibility, causing less privacy for all of the homes around that area.

Our animals go crazy every evening now with the larger aircraft, where as before the planes

didn’t bother them at all.

• Too much loud air traffic over residential areas and the use of leaded fuel.

• We are getting more and bigger planes/jets going over our house.

• When I built a shop I was limited to the height I could build because of an overlay that was

placed in my neighborhood. It was later determine that the overlay was a taking without

compensation and removed.

• Without commercial flights it only seems to serve Nike and Intel private flights. There is no

benefit to the rest of the county.

Very Negative – 11 responses

• 1) Flight training causing lead pollution with leaded fuel, I thought it was going to be removed in

2018? 2) Near constant overhead noise from flight training touch & goes, though it is better

since the number of operations has been reduced from the construction going on and from base

leg mostly being over Cornell. 3) Supporting the training of pilots from authoritarian /

suppressive regimes. 4) Plans to restart Air Show which ruins a usually very nice weekend in the

late summer and which will continue to flaunt normal safety regulations - it's only a matter of

time until we have a mass casualty accident in this high density community.

• because its part of the rape and destruction of Washington county......

• Hillsboro hardly has enough space for the humans living around there. We do not have space or

need to be expanding a Hillsboro airport when the Portland airport is less then 40 minutes away.

• increasing use; increasingly larger planes; flights over residential area; air pollution; noise are all

negatives

• It does not serve the general flying public

• Noise traffic devalued homes pollution

• Private flight school aircraft constantly circling over public air space of neighborhoods

• So much airplane noise over my house, traffic, inadequate security which leaves to public safety

concerns. Lots of airplane fuel dropped on the environment near airport and flight paths.

• The grounds surrounding the airport could be improved. They need landscaping and sidewalks.

It borders neighborhoods and brings down the neighborhood value because it’s an eyesore.

• They told the community that the runways needed to be extended for "safety" reasons and that

the wouldn't be landing larger planes and as the years have passed the planes landing at the

airport have gotten to be full size planes that make a tremendous amount of noise

• Way too many planes flying over the community. Exposure to aviation gas off put- Noise.

Outside the promise of the airports original purpose.

I do not like it.

• I wish we could fly out of HIO commercially one day, even regionally

• I work nearby so that is my interest.

• I would like to see domestic commercial flights available.

• I'd like to see more commercial flights out of the airport. I occasionally have to head to PDX and

it takes two and a half hours to get there. It'd be nice if some more regional flights could be out

of Hillsboro.

• If you’re going to keep it open, will you be making it a regional airport?

• Improvement of sidewalks and trails around the airport.

• Interested in airplanes and helicopters!

• Interested in development.

• is there still interest in opening up large commercial jet services (e.g. UPS)

• Noise and pollution are always a concern with an airport.

• Noise at night is an issue, especially in summer with open windows.

• Noise!!! Unfortunately, the airport is located in a highly populated area.

• None.

• Not at this time

• NOT expanding to accommodate larger planes (commercial flights)

• Not sure but is Civil Air Patrol offered here and if it is not why. There is critical shortage of air

line pilots and what better way to fill that need than to start with the younger people.

• Open it to commercial aircraft like Southwest.

• Opportunity for short-hop connection to PDX / passengers and freight

areas of interest? – 308 responses

• Ads in Facebook, or at local library.

• Advertising, local tv and social media

• Airport information activities for community such as air fair

you reached out

• Be open to mitigating the airport's impact on Hillsboro.

• Be transparent on future developments and noise issues; be concerned about the thousands of

citizens living near the airport.

• blog

• Hold open house meetings that address questions about the items listed above

• Holding events at the local market

• I hear many people complain about aircraft noise. As pilots, we try our best to avoid public

disturbance by following specific procedures when arriving and departing HIO. However, there

are some circumstances where we have no choice but to deviate these procedures to remain

safe. I just wish the public would have more understanding to what Pilots do, rather then

assuming that we just are there to make noise.

• Social Media Announcements

• Stop selling leaded fuel over my house.

• Surveys are easy

• Surveys like this are helpful.

• Surveys like this are helpful. Mailers to nearby businesses/residents may also be helpful.

• Surveys like this inviting comment. Public engagement meetings tend to attract critics and

opponents of PoP, HIO, business or growth. As a result, education and information meetings

devolve into shouting matches and polarized opinions and views.

• Surveys like this, FB group

• Surveys like this.

• Surveys such as this.

• The air fair is a great opportunity for people to engage with aviation, but it's frequently held on

very cold and rainy days. I've thought it could make sense to hold it in the spring and involve the

EAA young eagles program into the event, providing the chance for children to go on a small

airplane ride with volunteer pilots. I'm a professional pilot now, but my first flight was with a

volunteer pilot through that program in 2001, it can make quite an impact.

• This is a good question. I attended the last meeting you held at Hillsboro until the usual negative

group took over on there agenda.

• This is a good start! Online is always easiest.

• This is perfectly fine; more would be invasive!

• Through Hillsboro local social media sites and maybe an email newsletter

• Town Hall meetings

• Town hall meetings, open houses, news stories and announcements

• Town Hall type meetings at the Library or Senior center.

• Via the internet

• Web site

• Well publicized town halls

• with things like this email.

• You are already doing well with the various open house opportunities, but there could be more

when the weather is better.

• You need to stop expanding. Expansion should take place at PDX.

• Your annual Air Fair works well. Maybe it would be good to include some optional information

or discussion sessions as part of that.

Question 7: As the city of Hillsboro grows, what are your views about how the airport should evolve,

change or develop? – 308 responses

• A cheap shuttle service to pdx would revolutionize my travel plans. Or more generic connecting

flights to airports like Seattle.

• Absolutely no commercial flights. Move the training program out of the residential area - for

helicopters if nothing else.

• Add commercial flights

• Add commercial flights to NW destinations.

• Add commuter Alaska / Horizon service

• Add some commuter flights up down west coast

• Airline connections or flights

• Airport for commercial use should be built as a commercial airport, not transformed by forcing

people to sell property.

• Airport impact should be considered in Hillsboro growth to minimize future conflicts.

• Airport seems pretty good to me as it is. Maybe a designated safe area for people to go sit down

and watch the planes land and take off. A few “airplane facts” on a sign for people interested.

• Allow for passenger flights

• Allow small major airline planes

• Another airport in the Portland area would be great, as there are so many people who live on

the west side now

• As autonomous vehicles mature, a "shuttle" between HIO and PDX with 1/3rd-1/10th the time

of MAX Red Line would be great!

• As Hillsboro has grown, it’s grown around the airport. With the airport expanding and the city

growing, I think a critical mass will happen soon where residents will push back against future

growth and activity of the airport. Safety is a concern as is livability due to jet noise.

• As I stated earlier, I like the size it is. Would not want to see it get bigger

• As Metro Portland grows, I’d like to see Hillsboro become like Paine Field in Everett. Regional

passenger service, as an alternative to congested Seattle.

• As the city grows so should the Port increasingly recognize and respect the livability concerns of

HILLSBORO residents.

• As the community grows, of course HAO needs to meet the demands. I think that it needs to

continue serving the needs of the community, but at the same time not grow so much that it

loses the small town feel.

• at the very least, keep its footprint

• Be able to take off and land in fog

• Be an active part of the community.

• Be good neighbors - limit noise, protect water quality and natural areas as much as possible.

• Be more accessible to the general public.

• Be more conscientious about the environment and how you effect local residents

• Be more integrated with the city and help us understand how the airport works.

• Be vigilant helping city and government stay aware of the airport's needs and contribution, to

minimize conflicts with developers and neighbors.

• Become a satellite airport for KPDX, with regional carriers operating to and from.

• become larger for more opportunities

• Being able to take care of surrounding rrcinneighborhoods and having safety the ultimate goal

• Bring in commercial service.

• Bring passenger service to the airport

• Build a commercial terminal like Paine Field

• City planning should accommodate future growth potential of the airport. The trend of closing

regional airports (especially in California) is disturbing and is causing a greater concentration

(and exasperation) to the C and B class airports.

• Close it, or limit how big the flight schools can be to address noise. Or make it a regional airport.

• Commercial air service and increase the size of the pilot school. I think business are doing fine

with general aviation, it’s basically their airport at the moment.

• Commercial airlines please

• Commercial flights

• Commercial flights are a must. Pdx is too far. I would be willing to pay more for a flight out of

Hillsboro.

• Commercial local flights...seattle, Everett, vancouver

• Commercial Passenger Service

• Commercial service to Salem, eugene, Pendleton.

• Commercial Service to Seattle SFO

• Commercial service would be great

• Commercial service?

• consider opening a new facility far away from Hillsboro to support PDX.

• Continue development of airport resources

• Continue to be a small airport not allowing major airlines but instead to support GA and smaller

jets.

• Continue to expand

• Continue to meet the needs of the community

• Continue with public meetings and planning as to which changes best serve our community and

businesses.

• Continued improvement of airport facilities to better integrate the general public (restaurant,

viewing location for general public and so forth)

• Develop to support the growth within reason

• Development of commercial flights to Seattle and San Francisco

• Do not develop regular airline service

• Don’t grow it!!

• Don't have any.

• Eliminate flight training over residential neighborhoods. Stop having the Air Show over

residential neighborhoods. Stop lead pollution.

• Emphasis on non harassment (altitudes & repetitive patterns)

• Enlarging it to accommodate small commercial flights would be wonderful. [I lived and worked

near LGB (Long Beach, CA) and it was my favorite regional airport.]

• Environmental impact, noise and needs of the community

• Even if Hillsboro grows in size, the airport and traffic should not grow because it will impact

more noise pollution in the neighborhoods.

• Evolve

• Evolve into more of a ‘hub’ for kid field trips and such.... small museum and tours? Get the kids

interested in aviation at an early age!

• Evolve naturally.

• Expand commuter airlines

• Expand now before there is no more room to grow

• Expand out on the east side by Hillsboro Aviation for more of the same type of business and

corporate and general aviation hangars. The Red Baron Restaurant has been missed. The

existing buildings are aged and need a new face lift. Across the street the county has a new

convention building being built. With all the big business all around the airport it would be nice

to keep up with the appearances.

• Expand the airports ability for longer travel options so people can fly out of hillsboro instead of

PDX.

• Expand to meet the growing needs.

• Fewer jets. Propellers OK.

• Fewer late night and early morning jet flights over Cooper Mountain

• Find way to enable general aviation to coexist with increasing commercial and corporate use.

• Flights for the public!

• Focus on being an airport ga friendly!!!!

• Focus on the annual open house event to showcase daily airport uses. Skip the entertainment

airshow.

• freeze everything and direct everything and your big bucks to the cesspool at PDX

• Get bigger allowing everyone to travel from it

• Grow with the city

• Growth is inevitable but measures should be made to protect adjacent neighborhoods from low

elevation air traffic. This is an everyday issue with small aircraft flying over Jones Farm.

• Have flights available so we don't have to drive all the way to PDX. Especially on short trips to

Seattle, Eugene, Salem, Bend, Etc

• Help make KHIO more affordable for General Aviation and FBOs.

• Hillsboro airport property and safety zones should be protected

• Hillsboro area surrounding airport is turning more residential, airport should not expand and/or

move to another area

• Hillsboro is definitely growing but we don’t need a PDX size airport. It needs to remain small.

• Hillsboro used to be a small rural town.....the airport was small and not busy and wasn’t

surrounded by neighborhoods .....it was very bad planning to let neighborhoods and businesses

be so close by. We already had one plane crash at the air show a few years back and

miraculously no one was killed. Intel and Nike Have corporate jets and I am sure that will

increase.....and to who’s benefit?

• HIO needs to become more of a destination to serve a city of 100,000 residents. This should

include restaurants, shops and aviation-themed displays, exhibitions and activities.

• HIO should evolve into a adjunct airport for PDX, meaning commercial passenger flights for

commuter airlines (i.e. Horizon, United Express, etc.). I would much rather fly from HIO to SEA

than going all the way out to PDX.

• HIO should evolve to have western regional passenger air service. HI to SJC, LAX, Seattle,

Redmond, Bosie etc This would allow POP to serve a greater population in the region. HIO

should be officially designated our "secondary emergency airport" if natural disasters were to

take down PDX.

• How about a small commercial airline? Maybe something to Seattle?

• How about commercial flights ,saving us the necessity of driving to Portland.

• How can it serve the general community

• I already miss the air show due to improvements but understand they were needed. Hopefully it

comes back annually

• I am concerned about noise from the airport and flight paths changing.

• I am supportive of controlled growth, and feel that it offers employment opportunities unlike

those otherwise available.

• I am worries about noise.

• I appreciate the Hillsboro Airport, I grew up here and have always loved it. However, there

should be a cap on how much aircrafts can go in and out all day.

• I believe regional airlines such as Horizon Air should be allowed to operate li ited flights out of

the airport. That would help with traffic on 26 and 84.

• I believe the air show should continue here. It supports the local economy. I would like to see

the Blue Angels come back as well.

• I believe the airport has more to offer for the amount of people moving into the area. PDX is

getting harder to drive to

• I don’t know

• I don't want larger/noisier planes to use HIO since I live off of Brookwood and the noise would

probably lower my property values

• I feel that it would be nice to have the ability to catch a plane in and out of Hillsboro for the

general public domestic flights.

• I feel the current general aviation use is appropriate. Though the convenience of commercial

service would be nice I doubt that it is economically viable for the foreseeable future. If a future

extension of the main runway were a consideration, I think tunneling evergreen rd beneath it

would be the ideal means to do so.

• I hope the airport can survive the pressures of surrounding development. I have seen too many

airports close over the years.

• I think a runway lengthening is paramount. At some point in the future, larger aircraft will have a

need to fly here. I do not know when, but it will happen. It is best to create the runway

boundaries now, before the land around is fully developed & it will cost much more for land

acquisition down the road.

• I think expanding is good

• I think if the airport grows, it should grow to help the average person/taxpayer and provide

more resources for them vs. just focused on growth for local businesses.

• I think it needs to be very conscientious of noise considering the very established surrounding

neighborhoods.

• I think it should expand by annexing local land to provide a major hub as an alternative to PDX.

• I think it should stay a class D airport with maybe some growth but probably should stay a GA

airport with pdx so close by.

• I think organizing the flight schools over to the north side and improving the south side as a

primarily charter and business aviation access area would make sense.

• I think the airport should become a regional hub offering short hopper flights to Seattle, Bend,

Boise, Spokane, Southern Oregon and Northern California

• I wish it would shrink. While I get that many airshow pilots are well trained and safety conscious,

I fear that other general aviation pilots aren't and they put residents at risk. I also question the

safety of the flight school - how do we know they aren't training the next 9/11 terrorists?

• I would hate to see it become a big airport, we already have PDX, I can't see, at this point, that

this airport having big jets land is important. PDX does not have a HUGE amount of flights that

leave it. I am happier for this to remain a small airplane airport.

• I would like to see airline service to this area

• I would love to see a few commercial airlines offer flights out of HIO. Intel does it

• I would worry about bigger aircraft coming in. We have a lot of noise and activity already. We

get used to it but the larger planes would be hard to ignore. Also how does it work balancing the

current load plus bigger planes? Let them go to pdx. What is value to Hillsboro in expanding our

airport?

• I'd like to see a continued trend towards welcoming and engaging our local community.

• I'd like to see it offer at least small amounts of passenger service.

• I'd love to see HIO grow and thrive with the community

• If there is no commercial passenger flights then close it

• I'm guessing that there will be some flights that some people will be able to take more in and

out of Hillsboro left for the rest of us folks who lived here we have to go to the Portland airport

to fly out like if we want to go on a trip

• I'm tired of Hillsboro trying to grow! They want to take people's property and turn it into a

commercial industrial jungle. This area cannot support it. Too much industry all ready.

• It is in the middle of the city. How is an already noisy airport going to make the lives of city

residents better as Hillsboro grows?

• It is insufficient for commercial transportation, and Portland area passenger volume in no way

warrants that use. Nothing about south Hillsboro sprawl changes that

• It is likely to get busier.

• It must change with growth, but carefully due to dense neighboring populations.

• It needs a commercial terminal. Look at Paine field in Everett, Wa for a good example.

• It needs to become a public use (flights) option to Pdx in order to improve the growth of the

area.

• It needs to continue to serve the community.

• It needs to expand

• It should be an alternative to PDX for commercial service....

• it should be closed

• It should be understood by the city how important the airport is, and that it was a part of the

city before the new developments were.

• It should become more commercial since the west side is growing so rapidly, pdx is to far away

to want to go to to catch a flight. West side should become it's own region and seperate itself

from portland.

• It should connect to other airports and reduce our dependance on PDX...More business

opportunities will grow for the region

• It should continue on its path, getting bigger and better.

• It should continue to grow and start offering commercial passenger service possibly.

• It should expand

• It should grow along with the community

• It should grow no further- Period

• It should grow with it as the needs of the west side community grow.

• It should grow with it to borvide the service needed for a growing city.

• It should keep up with the needs of the community

• It should move outside the city limits as this town is growing.

• It should not grow as the eoad infrastructure cannot handle the traffic during peak hours as is.

• It should resemble the Bend/Redmond airport.

• It should stay about the same. Nkt interested in being a relief airport for PDX

• It should stay small. The PDX is plenty close. We don't need more air pollution in our

neighborhood.

• It should stay the same or even less. Seriously, who can afford private aviation? If the field can't

pay for itself, we certainly don't need it.

• It would be highly desirable to fly out of HIO on a Southwest or Alaska Air code-share.

• It would be nice if commercial passengers could have it as an option--similar to the Bellingham

airport.

• It would be nice to be more connected to the Portland airport-such as regional flights in and out

of Hillsboro’s such as Alaska flights

• It’d be nice to have some commercial flights depart from there as an alternative to PDX.

• It’s already as big as it needs to be

• It’s good as is, don’t ruin it with regulations

• It's an ideal location to bring scheduled air service to. Everyone on the westside wouldn't have

to drive through the horrendous portland traffic for their air travel needs.

• It's best to be a business aviation reliever airport more than it is now.

• Just that -- evolve, change and develop responsibly and with minimal or no environmental

impacts.

• Keep as is. No commercial flights

• Keep doing what you do

• Keep growing to support operations

• Keep it small, keep it local

• Keep it small. No scheduled service.

• keep noise down

• Keep noise pollution down

• Keep the airport active and available for all general aviation operations. Do not allow

surrounding commercial or government development to threaten operations at HIO like the

tragedy happening now at Santa Monica in California and what happened at Meigs Field in

Chicago. Santa Monica has no idea what sort of transportation and emergency relief

possibilities they are throwing away, deep inside a dense metropolitan area. HIO can serve as a

very important Portland west side area transportation and emergency relief resource.

• Keep the noise down

• Keep the public informed

• Keep the zoning around the airport as farm land at lest what's left..

• Leave as is!!

• Less flights

• limit development around it

• Limit night flying, use lead-free gasoline

• Local commercial air service

• Long term, as the Portland Metro area grows, we are going to outgrow PDX. HIO is probably

going to be the next satellite commercial facility.

• Lower Evergreen below the runway and extend the runway. (Should have been done years ago!)

• Mainstream airlines. Great opportunity for regional flights

• Make airport more accessible to locals needing service to larger airports in NW and West coast.

• Make it bigger for general aviation

• Make sure it is developed as a lifeline asset, including post earthquake operations.

• Make sure no more new homes are built around the area and the adjacent prioperties are

zoned for industrial or commercial

• Match pace of growth with community

• May not be appropriate to have the airport ramping up as population increases. Was fine when

it was farmland around it

• Maybe be an airport for shorter trips?

• Might add Amazon Air

• Modernization is good, but generally growth and traffic increase should be limited.

• More acc

• More acess to local folks possibly short trips

• More commercial flights

• More offerings

• More real estate development around the airport. Possibly introduce regional commercial

flights.

• More safety boundaries

• More space for hangars, GPS approaches for RWY2 and 20

• Most importantly, the airfield should, as such, continue into perpetuity.

• Move Evergreen Road again. This time make the runway at least 7200ft.

• Move out of city limits.

• Move the air show permanently to McMinnville. There is more room and the aviation museum

can prosper from the move...

• Move the air show to some other airport that has less populated area around it

• Move the flight school to another airport

• N/A (3)

• Need to enlarge airport & have more parking

• Needs a restaurant again that can see the runway...more attractive plants/flowers/trees...

• Needs commercial flights.

• Needs new terminal, commercial air service

• Needs to stay the way it is. Nothing wrong with small.

• Nice to have flight options out of Hillsboro

• No commercial flights

• No more building close to or on airport property

• No more planes. No more expansion!

• No opinion

• Noise abatement, although the airport was there before Hillsboro decided to pop up

• None (2)

• None come to mind

• Not informed enough to comment

• Not sure (2)

• Not sure. We just moved into flight path and don't mind the planes landing and taking off, but

other noises are occasionally too loud (engine revving) and I'm not sure we'd want MORE plane

noise.

• Of course it will grow...but how? Maybe turn evergreen into a tunnel??

• Offer commercial flights

• Offer commercial flights (AA, Delta, United, Southwest, etc.)

• Offer scheduled passenger flights to West Coast destinations (Seattle, Bay Area, L.A.)

• Open communication with the community.

• Passenger flights

• Passenger service to NW cities.

• Possible host regional commercial airline.

• Prefer that it does not become much busier. The noise level is acceptable as is but much more

could be problematic

• Probably at most should just stay status quo. Would be best to phase out jet traffic

• Question whether we need this in the middle of town.

• Really don't have any specific views .. Just interested in the upkeep of the area, the noise level of

the jets, etc.

• Remove leaded fuel

• Restrict adjacent and nearby development to minimize conflicts over noise and traffic.

• Restrict use.

• Safety for the surrounding areas should be a priority and keeping flight plans away from

neighborhoods. It should not be used for commercial flights.

• See above answer.

• Serve near by airports i.e. Seattle, Eugene, Sun River, Boise, etc.

• Serve the general public aka taxpayers by providing commercial flights

• SHORT HAUL COMMERCIAL SERVICE: RDM, BFI, PDX, PDT, YKM

• should address the pollution issues especially leaded fuel

• Should become more customer focused.

• Should consider moving further out

• Should continue to develop

• Should expand runways

• Should offer more routes

• Silence is golden.

• Small airline passenger service

• small commercial domestic airport

• Somewhat

• Start doing commercial flights to places like Seattle and Spokane or Pullman, Wa. Flights that are

less than 2 hrs.

• Stay pretty much the same

• Stay the same

• Stop selling leaded fuel over my house. Provide a service to the neighbors, not just a handful of

corporate clients.

• Stop using fuel with lead in it

• Tell the naysayers, they bought a house by/near an airport, what did they expect?

• That commercial airlines start landing in Hillsboro

• The airport cannot be an annex to PDX. It should always remain a small local airport with

modest regional traffic.

• The airport has developed too much in my opinion. It is extremely unneeded in a poor

community such as Hillsboro.

• The airport is a critical part of our county's infrastructure. Those who live nearby have some

tradeoffs in terms of quality of life with noise issues. Being a facility the public can rely on in an

emergency is a way for the Port to give back.

• The airport needs to grow along with the community.

• The airport needs to grow to accommodate commerce but keep the noise level at reasonable

levels.

• The airport needs to grow to meet the needs of the local economy

• The airport needs to keep in mind the local community as it expands and nets additional

business.

• The airport needs to stay in its current boundaries or plans for a new location in a less populated

area should be discussed.

• The airport should be developed for commercial service. Current drive time to PDX can be up to

hour and half with the traffic. If there was one flight a day to Seattle to connect I would be on it!

• The airport should consider switching to no-lead fuel, restrict the operation of certain types of

especially loud aircraft, and limit the frequency of late night/early morning flights.

• The airport should continue to publicize its role in the local economy and community as it has

been doing for years.

• The airport should evolve in order to meet Hillsboro’s and the residents’ needs.

• The airport should grow as well

• The airport should look at other sites to evolve, change or develop.

• The airport should not get any bigger

• The airport should remain accessible for all members of the community, not just the corporate

or flight school clients. Increasing the number of shops or restaurants on the property would be

good.

• The airport should take on short commuter flights to local towns.

• The airport should work with the community for future development. However, since the

airport has been there for many decades, new residents should be aware of the airport

operations.

• The airport shouldn’t continue to grow. Larger planes should be using the Portland airport

• The airport shouldn’t expand to include commercial flights. Get rid of flight schools.

• The airshow should limit jets flying low over neighborhoods.....noise and danger of crashes.

• The city should revisit zoning in the airport area. Housing development near flight-paths or

practice areas should be forbidden or restricted. Prospective owners should acknowledge in

writing that the airport may impact their property use.

• The Port should bring more restaurants to the surrounding area.

• The public should have access to flights. It’s awful people living in west Portland Washington

county spend more time getting to PDX for local flights to Seattle and the Bay Area than they do

in the air!!

• There should be an increased focus on sustainability, health, and noise limits to preserve quality

of life for the neighbors surrounding the area.

• There should be commuter flights to PDX.

• This airport should evolve into a large hub

• This airport should have commercial regional jet service

• tight connection with local community including communication.

• To keep noise & pollution down

• Too many houses too close

• Turn into a small airport w scheduled flights

• Unknown (2)

• Unsure

• Upgrade

• Upgrade facilities, build new terminal building, create a high quality, compatible retail

commercial component and streetscape.

• We do not want commercial flights, this is a small airport surrounded by schools and

neighborhoids

• We need a faster way to get passengers deplaning in Portland home to Hillsboro, since their

planes can't land here.

• We need airlines so we don’t have to drive to PDX

• Well, as the city grows, so should the airport.

• What are the plans in regards to adding electric charging stations for EVs and future

development of Electric Powered Planes?

• With a bigger city security might be a concern, and it's capacity for more planes flying in our

based there might be too small.

• With community approval

• Within reason, the airport should grow with the city.

• worried about the impact and danger to the population, push larger planes to PDX

• Would be neat to have HIO develop into a second airport for the Portland area (like Payne Field)

with easier access to short connecting flights to SFO and SEA.

• would be nice to have regional commercial flights.

• Your question assumes change rather than maintain. Maintain.

Question 12: What did you like best about this year’s Air Fair? (optional) – 22 responses

• Aircraft on display

• Airport tour

• Bus tour

• corporate/charter aviation handers

• Customs

• Display aircraft

• Equipment (planes and machines) on display.

• Focus on the real value of the airport to the community, as opposed to the Oregon Air Show

which is just an entertainment event with little relation to the airport's daily importance to the

community.

• Food was good.

• Hanger tour and historical slide show

• Kid friendly- kids get to get in/on different machines.

• Military demos

• My daughter loves checking out the aircrafts

• opportunity to be inside the airport

• Overall well done, with great activities for children

• Talking with a general aviation pilot in front of his airplane on display.

• The enthusiasm

• The outreach programs are great.

• The staff and displays

• They took us on a tour of Nike jets, had police and police dogs there, also same with fire dept.,

some local businesses had tables there.

• Tour and some booths (but weather not the best)

• Tours

Question 13: How could we improve the event? (optional) – 24 responses

• Beaverton Bakery was great treats years ago

• Bigger and better airplanes. Maybe contact nike to see if they will tow one of their gulf streams

over.

• Engage corporate users such as Intel and Nike to display aircraft and explain how important the

aircraft are to the core business. These airplanes are not just toys for the VIPs, but integral parts

of the business.

• Food vendors

• have a pay as you go coffee booth separate from the food booth : ) , the free coffee either runs

out or is cold. have more handouts or poster sessions about learning how to fly opportunities

for adults

• Have more aircraft on display

• Have more airplanes to see, and someone to explain the different types of aircraft. I don't

remember any place to buy food? Food at a fair price would be good. Lots of things for kids and

adults to do! I am very interested to hear the story of Hillsboro Airport. I was a Flight Attendant

for Pan American and my Dad flew for TWA, so anything having to do with the history of flight

and the airport would be interesting.

• I answered this in a previous question – “The air fair is a great opportunity for people to engage

with aviation, but it's frequently held on very cold and rainy days. I've thought it could make

sense to hold it in the spring and involve the EAA young eagles program into the event, providing

the chance for children to go on a small airplane ride with volunteer pilots. I'm a professional

pilot now, but my first flight was with a volunteer pilot through that program in 2001, it can

make quite an impact.”

• I like it!

• Include airplane rides/youth events

• Keep the tours going - we missed it due to crowd size and time.

• Larger military jet like a C-5

• More activities

• More aircraft

• More aircraft displays

• More airplanes, more booths, more activities, more food choices.

• More airplanes/helicopters on display... let kids get in.

• More buses for the tour, more aircraft on display, more information about flight training.

• More tour busses. It was cold out on the tarmac, and waiting was difficult, especially for those

with children.

• More: Equipment (planes and machines) on display.

• Music !

• Perhaps encourage local pilots to display their aircraft

• Static displays, good food court, beer garden, (maybe) listen to tower

• Upgrade food options

Question 14: Is there anything else you would like to share about Hillsboro Airport? (optional) – 107

responses

• A great resource that deserves more money and attention. Troutdale is too close to PDX to be

an alternative airport in case of natural disaster. As the state population grows primarily in the

PDX Metro area, HIO can be of service.

• A viewing park accessible by all would help to ease the heavy handed security issues

surrounding the Airport grounds.

• Again make the airport more useful to larger section of the population by connecting to other

airports

• Again, I think the ecosystem here in Hillsboro could not stand to have more cars, and larger

airplanes going into Hillsboro airport. We still have good farm land, forests, and recreation

areas. Intel and Nike and other big corporations don't need to have more aircraft coming in and

turning Hillsboro Airport into an airport for corporate executives.

• Concern about noise from aircrafts

• Concerned about any expansion of the airport.

• Do more advertising about events at the airport.

• Do not do anymore expansion. We don't want freight, UPS, FedEx, Amazon etc coming into this

airport. There are too many seen trucks on the roads now, bringing in freight companies will

only make the problem worse. We have enough jet traffic now, don't add the larger planes into

HIO!

• Emissions report should be required for public information.

• FAA tower staff are awesome

• Find ways to buffer noise (take-off landing hours, plantings along the perimeter, etc.)

• From a public perspective, no. As a tenant there are things I could elaborate on.

• Glad you’re here!

• Go HIO!

• Hope it doesn’t expand any further!

• How will you compensate homeowners for loss of value ?

• I attended HARE meetings and members sImply rubber stamped Port of Portland ideas. Not

open to public input.

• I cannot emphasize enough that, as a part of modernization, UAS should not be 2nd class

citizens to the airspace. For example, there are large portions of the City of Hillsboro that have

0ft on the Facility map where it could safely and usefully be something like 100ft. As part of

being a "good neighbor" the airport should go out of its way to justify (and ideally

minimize/avoid) every 0ft square determination. It has improved since the first version, but

there's still lots of room for improvement. I love KHIO, I love flying in and out of it, and I want to

continue to support it any way I can.

• I don’t have a problem with the airport.

• I feel that expansion (like longer or more runways) should be done as soon as possible so that

the city can evolve around the airport. it will be much more difficult to expand in 20 years if the

area is already built up with neighborhoods and industry.

• I guess not.

• I guess we're stuck with the darn thing - just wish that wasn't the case.

• I have lived in the Hillsboro area most of my life (I am in my 40's), I used to love when my

Grandparents would drive out to the "country" airport and we would sit and watch the planes

come and go. We are fortunate to have this in our own backyard. The Airshow NEEDS to stay

and should be a priority.

• I hope it becomes useable to more than just the super wealthy and student pilots.

• I think it's an important part of our community and so is the Air Show.

• I will repeat, stop selling leaded fuel to be burnt over my house and provide a service to the

neighbors, not just a handful of corporate clients.

• I wished the Hillsboro airport fair was 2x a year or at least 2 weekends in a row. Always want to

attend but other commitments and worry about how busy it is. I just see the sign in the fence,

don’t recall much other advert than that. I would hope the airshow is back in Hillsboro for 2020

and beyond. If more work is being planned at Hillsboro then it needs to not impact our getting

the airshow here.

• I worry about leaded fuel overhead.

• I’d like to see those who use it giving back to our community in some way.

• I’ve flown out of HIO twice, once on a Gulfstresm & once on a piper cub. Both experiences were

amazing for a west sider. I think commercial service is logical.

• I'd like to see better follow-up on issues raised by citizens during public meetings. I also think

the policy of not responding to citizen comments by the advisory panel stifles understanding.

• If the Airshow hasn't been entirely destroyed, make it a REAL airshow, including fly-in, and offer

rides. Take some control from the airshow committee...Back when Judy was in charge, they

learned how to suck the cash out with the result being $25 tickets, $8 burgers and a fraction of

the AVIATION displays and activities of years prior.

• Important general aviation reliever to Portland International.

• It is a community safety hazard now that Hillsboro has grown so much. It should be relocated

out to a less populated area like it once was.

• It is fine as is!!

• It is really noisy. Jets as well as small planes and helecopters fly low over downtown all of the

time. It is likely that they are within FFA guidelines, but it is a detractor to living in our cute

downtown area.

• It needs to be updated. The 1950 ish look is rather dated.

• It seems really inaccessible and elite. It's a publicly maintained airport, but it only serves a small

number of people. Working to address that perception could go a long way.

• It should have use for larger public so that more small business can grow in and arround airport

• It should remain a limited service airport.

• It sounds like a hobby airport for rich people at our expense, and I think it sould be converted to

low-income housing, or sites for LFTR plants.

• It was here before me....so why do neighbors complain?

• It would be best during Washington County Fair if the helicopters did not fly low over the area.

• It would be highly desirable to fly out of HIO on a Southwest or Alaska Air code-share.

• Keep being awesome! The Nike jets on display are awesome!

• Keep it small and the planes too.

• Keep it small please .

• Loud planes

• Love the Oregon international air show

• Make the Airshow (a charitable organization) more welcome.

• More notice of air fair

• NA

• NIMBYists seem to not understand that their house is cheap BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO AN

AIRPORT!!

• No (21)

• No more noise in the middle of the night. Take it somewhere else. It's bad enough during the

day.

• Noise from jets in evenings and mornings not nice especially in summer when our windows are

open

• Nope!

• Nope, but ask me if you have a question.

• Not at this time (2)

• Not at this time my major complaint is about the air show.

• Not now

• not really

• Oh - yeah. What is going on with the airport as far as it's roll in a regional disaster?

• Planes headed to Hillsboro from the south fly over my house

• Please remind the people maintaining your land along Veterans to not park in the bike lane. It is

illegal and inconsiderate of bike traffic.

• Please remove leaded fuel

• Re-look into Port and Hillsboro Parks developing a park where folks could learn about planes,

see planes land/take-off, hear about how/why planes fly, feel like the city and Port are

interested in sharing what HIO is all about.

• Respect your neighbors. When I play golf at Meriwether, the drone of twin engine trainers is

even evident that far out. You have to realize what an impact NOISE has on the environment.

• Small airplanes (trainers) are louder than large jets

• Stay the same size.

• Thanks for sending out this email and reaching out to the community.

• The air show is a revenue generator for the area. In the late 90's - early 2000's, the air show and

the county fair sometimes overlapped. The best of both events for families was a frequent

comment. The 4th of July fireworks display was excellent in past years. Bring it back!

• The airport can be a great partner and economic boost to Hillsboro and Oregon, but the

situation currently feels like it's increasingly becoming unbalanced. As the new runways open

up, we are especially concerned about air quality and noise.

• The airshow is awesome, miss the fireworks in the 4th of July.

• The picture of the airport seems to be old. I had trouble deciphering various locations.

• The Port is always going to be more focused on PDX, which is international, and the shipyards. I

understand that. But this is important.

• The Port of Portland is a terrible landlord.

• There are far too many people and dangerous industrys here to expand the aiport further

• This is the type of regional airport that UNITED Airlines is currently looking to serve. The

population west of the Willamette river is increasing tremendously, is generally more affluent,

and tend to travel more for business and pleasure utilizing and overcrowding PDX. Opening HIO

would also *reduce traffic* through the city of Portland, take some pressure off PDX and

provide service and convenience to those of us who live on the west side of Portland. Yes I work

for UAL, and have communicated this opportunity to upper management, who have responded

favorably. [Personal info redacted]. lets do this :-)

• This year question did you mean 2019 or 2020?

• Under the flight path of 31R the Wooded area by Brookwood would it be possible to make a

park inside this area. People are getting more condensed all the time and this may help to

getaway.

• We are a close neighbor and it's great to have a front-row seat for the airshows!

• We have been neighbors to the airport since 1986 would like to have a better understanding of

airport and included to any family friendly events .

• Would like to go the air fair. Didn’t know it existed

• Would like to see more of the airport related businesses and educational opportunities be

hilighted.
