Upcoming Opportunities to Help Shape Airway Heights’ Climate Resiliency Plan
The City of Airway Heights is creating a Climate Resiliency Plan as part of the 2026 Comprehensive Plan update. As we move into the next phase of this work – mitigation – we are exploring actions that can help reduce the emissions that contribute to climate change. These actions include improving energy efficiency in existing and new buildings, supporting public transit and active transportation options, and expanding opportunities for vehicle electrification.
Throughout December, the City will host several opportunities for residents, community partners, and advisory groups to learn about this work and share feedback on what should be prioritized in the emissions-reduction plan.
Engagement Schedule
Friday, December 12
Pop Up Conversations – 8:00 AM–5 PM
These conversations help the City hear directly from residents, businesses, and partners about what matters most as we shape Airway Heights’ emissions-reduction strategies, with a focus on energy-efficient buildings, public transit and active transportation, and vehicle electrification. Sessions may be one-on-one or in small groups and can be scheduled using this link or by calling 509-828-0462. A Zoom option is also available.
