On March 30, 2010, the FAA determined that the request to release property at the Reading Regional Airport submitted by the Reading Regional Airport Authority (Authority) met the procedural requirements.

The following is a brief overview of the request:

The Reading Regional Airport Authority requests the release of real property totaling 154.93 acres (Lot #1), excluding 2.54 acres (Lot #5 Reading Regional Airport Waste Water Treatment Plant), of non-aeronautical airport property to Berks County Industrial Development Authority. The property was transferred to the City of Reading through the Surplus Property Act of 1944 via the Quit Claim Deed. A portion of the property is currently leased to a private company, which will be transferred to the buyer. The property is located on the east side of the airport and is bordered by Aviation Road running east and turning north. The purpose of this release is to allow the Reading Regional Airport Authority to sell the subject land that does not serve any aeronautical purpose at the airport. There are no impacts to the Airport and the land is not needed for airport development as shown on the Airport Layout Plan. Any proceeds from the sale of property are to be used for the capital and operating costs of the airport.

Any person may inspect the request by appointment at the FAA office address listed above. Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed release from obligations. All comments will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
