Should a Commercial Development Be Built at Edmonton International Airport?
Official title: AirPoint 2 Development at the Edmonton International Airport
Edmonton Regional Airports Authority is deciding whether to approve AirPoint 2, a commercial development at Edmonton International Airport. The project includes six retail buildings and a fast-food restaurant with drive-throughs on about 19,400 square meters of land. The site has already been graded and disturbed, so the developer says environmental impacts will be minimal.
Why This Matters
Work at or travel through Edmonton's airport? This development could add new shops and restaurants near the terminals. Construction will mean more traffic and noise temporarily. If you live nearby in Leduc County, you might notice the changes.
What Could Change
If approved, six commercial retail units and a drive-through restaurant will be built on airport lands. Construction traffic and noise will increase temporarily. The airport's commercial footprint expands to support regional growth.
Key Issues
- Will the development cause significant adverse environmental effects?
- What are the potential impacts of construction traffic and noise?
