	Williams Gateway Airport - Frequently Asked Questions
		The Airport has been informed that schools built near the Airport area are noise attenuated and meet or exceed the sound and/or thermal standards due to the school district's insulation standards and use of quality building materials.
		Highland High School, the closest school to the Airport's 65 DNL noise contour line, was built in 1993 with noise attenuation measures to accommodate military training planes (the previous use of the Airport) as well as larger commercial planes.
		Since the Airport was a former Air Force Base that operated for over 50 years, and the development of Williams Gateway has been publicly accepted as far back as 1992, WGA believes that land and home values already take into account the proximity of the Airport.
