If (buncil ~]opts the Blan, the <br />next step is Phase II, development of zonin9 to protec% the airspace, airport <br />~xoper and clearance zor~s. The next step would be the enviro~entai impact <br />statement which takes about one year; then the land acquisition would begin and <br />that takes 12-18 months.
