Ekalaka Airport (97M) is in the process of completing an Airport Master Plan to evaluate the facilities and role the airport currently has and what will be needed in the future. KLJ in Rapid City is the firm conducting this Master Plan Study.

- Forecast of Aviation Activity & Critical Design Aircraft
- Establish Future Facility Requirements
- Examine Alternative Facility Layouts
- Draft a new Airport Layout Plan
