[edit] Geography
The land was annexed from the rural municipality of Corman Park between 1965-1969. In 2005 land was annexed for Akzo (Marquis Industrial).[1] The Airport Business subdivision is several major trucking routes. The Idylwyld Drive North, Sk Hwy 11 Louis Riel Trail to Prince Albert via Warman, and Sk Hwy 12 to Blaine Lake via Martensville concurrency mark the eastern boundary. Circle Drive marks the southern boundary, with access to SK Hwy 1`4 and Sk Hwy 16, the Yellowhead Trans Canada. It is a main thoroughfare through the city connecting Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. It also connects west Saskatoon with the bedroom communities of Warman and Martensville.
Larkhaven Park is a park within the region which owes its name to a former naming of an industrial park previously located in this area. Larkhaven Industrial area is located in the area of the Saskatoon Inn. [2]
McNab Park community is a residential area located in the airport business area. This residential area uses the residences of the former RCAF base near the airport.[3]

[edit] Future Plans
The airport business area is a part of the local area plans of the City of Saskatoon infrastructure development. Some of the upcoming plans are to structure Airport Drive as a “Gateway to Saskatoon” and phase out residential communities for example at McNab Park and re-vamp the area to light industrial and business park uses. Rename the area to Airport Business Area from Airport Industrial Area, and incorporate Hamption Industrial area within Airport Business Area. Develop the area west of Airport Drive and North west of Circle Drive. Reserve the Larkhaven Park formation as a park space.[5][6]
