Encroachment & Funding

The Challenges Threatening Our Airfields

Residential encroachment, rising hangar fees, and funding cuts directly threaten the long-term viability of Southern Nevada's public-use airfields. Local zoning decisions slowly squeeze airport boundaries.

Zoning & Hangar Rights

Without proactive legislative protection, pilot rights and hangar agreements face steady erosion. Your vote directly influences the local leaders who control these airport authorities.

Decisions made by the Clark County Commission directly dictate hangar lease terms, runway protection zones, and noise ordinances.
