The City of Louisville has joined Jefferson County, Boulder County, Westminster, Broomfield, Arvada and Superior to form the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport Community Noise Roundtable (RMMACNR) as recommended by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This multi-jurisdictional, collaborative effort will discuss noise issues, possible mitigation actions, opportunities for implementation and evaluation of effectiveness.

The first official meeting of the RMMACNR is scheduled to occur on January 11, 2021, at 9 am. These meetings will be broadcast to the public. Meeting details and a formal agenda will be published on the Airport Community Noise Roundtable website at https://www.jeffco.us/4109/Noise-Roundtable. The RMMACNR is currently scheduled to take public comment on a quarterly basis, with the first public comment date to-be-determined by the members at this upcoming meeting.

The FAA's preferred venue for considering changes in airspace procedures and routing is a roundtable so that all surrounding communities can vet any changes in airport operations and aircraft routing. The community roundtable process ensures representation from all potentially impacted stakeholders, including surrounding communities and jurisdictions, airport users, and the FAA, so that any requested change in aircraft operations by one community does not negatively and unfairly impact another.
