Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park Strategic Plan 2022

About this Project

The Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park is a hub of activity in West Parry Sound. Over the years its role in our community has evolved and grown. A Strategic Plan was was developed in 2018 primarily as an economic needs analysis designed to secure government funding for the runway expansion.

Financial support came from the both the Provincial Government and the the Federal Government and that expansion is underway. Simultaneously, a growing number of companies have set up shop in the business park.

We can be proud of this progress. We need to keep the momentum going and require a clear path forward to inform how the Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park develops into the future to realize its full potential as an economic driver in our community.

The 2022 Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park Strategic Plan will be the foundation upon which that future is based. An external consultant, Karen Wianecki, Director of Practice, Planning Solutions Inc. will lead this project, guided by insights from the airport commission, airport staff, and successes from comparable airports in similar communities.

This engagement page provides an opportunity to keep residents and those interested in the Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park informed on this critical next step.

Here you will find background information, a timeline and FAQs. If you have any suggestions or ideas to help inform our vision for the future of the Parry Sound Area Municipal Airport and Business Park, please share them here.

Please note that the this idea-sharing exercise closes Friday June 24, 2022.
