Bend officials are mulling the idea of annexing Bend Municipal Airport into the city limits — a move they say could boost economic development by giving the city more control over how the airport operates.
The airport, which sits on 415 acres about five miles northeast of Bend, is owned by the city but falls under Deschutes County jurisdiction. The city manages day-to-day airport operations, but when it wants to take out a noise permit, alter nearby streets or enforce code violations in hangars or other airport buildings, Bend has to turn to Deschutes County for permission.
