A draft of the long-awaited Hilton Head Island Airport Master Plan study by consultant Talbert and Bright was posted at the Beaufort County website, www.bcgov.net/hhi-airport , earlier today. Elected officials from Beaufort County and the Town of Hilton Head Island are scheduled to meet jointly at 6 p.m. Oct. 27 at Hilton Head High School's Performing Arts Theater to discuss the plan and decide whether they will endorse it, according to the county website.

The 180-page document does not include an executive summary, but its table of contents is more than four pages long, and its list of tables is nearly two pages long.
