This Master Plan for Theodore Francis Green State Airport (PVD) serves as a comprehensive roadmap for its long-range development over a 20-year period. The plan aims to ensure safe and operationally efficient facilities, accommodate forecasted demand, and define compatible land uses around the airport. Key areas of focus include detailed inventory and assessment of existing airside and landside conditions, environmental overview, forecasts of demand, aviation demand/capacity analysis, facility requirements, alternatives analysis for various airport components, an implementation plan for capital improvement projects, and a financial plan. The plan is designed to guide airport management, FAA investments, and community needs, with a focus on adapting to industry trends and regional economic variables.

The Rhode Island Airport System Plan 2016-2035 updates previous assessments for the state's six airports, concluding that their roles, forecasted activity (projected as largely flat), and planned improvements remain consistent with prior reports. The plan's strategic direction is guided by ten performance goals: maintaining FAA design standards, optimizing airport capacity, ensuring air access under all conditions, upholding airport security, achieving environmental compliance, promoting compatible land use, providing essential support infrastructure, enhancing economic impact and financial stability, improving airport services, and facilitating ground access. Key priorities include sustaining existing infrastructure, clearing runway approaches, meeting FAA standards, fostering revenue opportunities at General Aviation airports, and strengthening T.F. Green's role in the regional system.

This document presents the Phase I conclusions and observations for the New England Regional Airport System Plan, specifically addressing the General Aviation (GA) airport system. It provides an initial understanding of GA activity, including airport classification, infrastructure maintenance costs, and business GA flight data. The report identifies key regional observations to inform the development of strategies for a sustainable GA airport system in New England, supporting economic development and regional connectivity.

This Strategic Business Plan outlines the vision of The Rhode Island Airport Corporation to provide safe, convenient aviation gateways for New England, and its mission to offer quality facilities for secure, efficient air transportation, stimulate regional economic growth, and balance fiscal, civic, and environmental stewardship. The plan is guided by core values including Public Service, Customer Service Excellence, Entrepreneurship, Continuous Improvement, and Teamwork. Its strategic pillars, or corporate initiatives, focus on Infrastructure, Economic Development, Finance, Customer Service, Communication, Organization, and Operations, all aimed at achieving operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
