Airport runway extension may not require Austin Blvd. relocation

But the plan for Austin could change, said Terry Slaybaugh, director of the Dayton International Airport, which owns the Miami Twp. site.

“That’s really a placeholder,” he said of the plan to relocate Austin to the north.

“We have not studied the relocation of the roadway or potentially what we would do if we make these improvements,” Slaybaugh said. “We plan on soliciting proposals at the end of 2017 to begin an environmental impact statement that would then look at our options and what is feasible for that type of relocation.”
