RAP Project Overview

Rapid City Regional Airport
Primary Guiding Documents Project Overview

**** UPDATED ****	OCTOBER 19, 2007
OVERVIEW: The City of Rapid City has engaged Aviation Management Consulting Group (AMCG) to review and revise the Primary Guiding Documents for Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP). This review and revision project will apply to the current Minimum Standards and Rules and Regulations. As part of the process, we sought input from a variety of sources to help us learn more about the aviation businesses currently operating at the Airport and the dynamics of the RAP marketplace. To this end, AMCG contacted all known aviation businesses at the Airport to compile information about the products, services, and facilities currently being offered. This is an essential step in the revision process. This website is intended to provide interested parties with an overview of the project. It will be updated periodically to reflect the status of the project and convey other pertinent information.
