Lakewood (NJ) Airport in Danger
Lakewood NJ is looking into selling its airport, which it purchased
about a decade ago, to be used for other uses. The airport commission isn't happy about that, but the municipal government has its own ideas... ---- Township Attorney Steven Secare said Lakewood may be able to sell the 192-acre airport along Cedar Bridge Avenue to a private developer, despite having accepted Federal Aviation Administration and state grant money to first buy the airport nine years ago. .. . . Mayor Charles Cunliffe said that investigating is the only action the committee is taking at this time. Cunliffe said committee members — he will not name who — have privately talked about different options for the airport, including developing it for retail or commercial use, using it to expand the Lakewood Industrial Park or building housing. Excerpt from Asbury Park Press "Airport property may be open to other uses" http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/art...505140408/1070 |

They take a very dim view of such actions and, in the past, have informed the locals that they not only have to reimburse the FAA for Airport Grants, but that they would have to share the profits from the land sale. If FAA put in 90% to purchase the property, FAA would be entitled to 90% of the sale. -- Remove _'s from email address to talk to me. |
