DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Federal Aviation Administration
Request for Public Comment, Morgantown Municipal Airport,
Morgantown, WV
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Request for public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public
comment on the proposed release of 46.53 acres of land currently owned
by the City of Morgantown, Sponsor for the Morgantown Municipal
Airport, Morgantown, West Virginia. The parcel is located within the
Sixth Ward District of the City of Morgantown, Morgantown, West
Virginia. The site is a 47.00 acre portion of the larger Morgantown
Municipal Airport property. The land is currently being used as a cross
wind runway. It has been determined that this runway is no longer
needed for safety or capacity. The property is not a vital part of, or
necessary for the Sponsor's operation and development of the Morgantown
Airport. Once released, the land will change to a non-aeronautical use
and will be transferred to the West Virginia Army National Guard (``AR-
WVARNG''). Thereafter, AR-WVARNG will construct or cause the
construction of and operate a West Virginia Army National Guard
Readiness Center on the property. The development of this property will
also bring the construction of a roadway and utilities that will be
needed for subsequent development of aviation facilities on a part of
the airport that is now remote and without utilities or access. The
airport land being released is not needed for airport development as
shown on the Airport Layout Plan. Fair Market Value has been determined
based upon an appraisal of the Property.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 15, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments on this application may be mailed or delivered in
triplicate to the FAA at the following address: Connie Boley-Lilly,
