Indiana’s Jasper County Airport Authority has hired strategic consulting firm Woolpert under a master services agreement to develop a master plan to guide its development that could see the addition of a second, longer runway. The airport has been without a master plan since 2006 and FAA requirements have changed so that any development project funding, even for smaller airports, now requires one.
