The study would be a feasibility type study and it would determine if in fact the general aviation facility would be supported in the Hastings area and secondly what the design of such a facility would be and ultimately what the cost of such a facility would be. It would go into such things as environmental factors, inventory of existing facilities and analysis facilities of concept plan noting the size and general construction requirements and go into a planning formulation of Phase construction if it proved to be a feasible probability.

That Marshan Township is waiting for the City of Hastings to make a move in this direction because they are working on their comprehensive planning at this time.
