Land Use Fight Could Set National Precedent For Small Airports
A long-running land-use dispute in central New Jersey has entered a new phase, with the Solberg-Hunterdon Airport at its center. The airport’s owners, the Solberg family, have filed a lawsuit against Readington Township over a new zoning ordinance that they argue limits the airport’s development and could jeopardize its operations. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has stepped in to support the airport, warning that the outcome could have far-reaching implications for small airports across the US. The dispute is part of a decades-long history of tension between the airport and the township, with the airport seeking to modernize and expand its facilities. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
