Pole lighting · 2026

What this outcome means
The FAA sent the case back to the filer rather than issuing a determination. This is the most common non-clean outcome and usually means something has to change or be supplied before the study can finish — not that the project was refused.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"The airport will be constructing a new parking lot located adjacent to the existing airport terminal building. The parking area will have nine (9) elevated lights on poles with a shared light plane elevation of approx. 28' above the parking lot finish grade. This request is for the permanent location of parking lot with lights."
