The ALP Update & Narrative Report is the short- and long-term development concept for the airport. It is the local airport planning document to be used as guidance in planning for airport facility needs over a 20-year time period.

• Provide a visioning document to guide airport management and other decision makers regarding development of the airport over the next 20 years.
• Address local and national changes in the aviation industry that could impact priorities at Brewster Field
• Identify and plan for potential capital projects, in advance, so that coordination, approvals, financing, design and construction can take place in a timely manner
• Develop a plan that addresses FAA and airport priorities
• To have a current and approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP) on file with FAA so that the City of Holdrege can apply for federal grant funding
• To increase stakeholder/public awareness of the airports' goals and objectives
• To maintain communication and capital project discussions with FAA and airport stakeholders
• To document justification for FAA funding of specific projects, where it exists, and to provide triggers that would justify planned future projects

The FAA recommends that public use facilities such as Brewster Field update their master plan every 7-10 years or as local aviation conditions change. In order to apply for and receive federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant funds, an updated and FAA-approved ALP must be on file.

Coffman Associates, a national aviation consulting firm specializing in airport planning studies, was selected following a qualifications-based selection process.

The study is being funded by the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Aeronautics Division.
