SUMMARY:

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is giving notice that a portion of the airport property for intersection improvements to Hwy 32 and Three Mile road is not needed for aeronautical use as currently identified on the Airport Layout Plan.

Income from the sale will be used to improve the airport.

In accordance with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used for an aeronautical purpose.
