Airport Condemnation
NWA Online, June 21, 2007
Airport commissioners recommended Tuesday the City Council begin condemnation proceedings against a property owner near the Springdale Municipal Airport.
Buying the land will allow the airport to clear trees on the property that are both an obstruction to aircraft and a hazard because of the birds they gather.
-There is a great advantage to property ownership near an airport. The proximity to air traffic and a decent road system may dramatically increase the value of the property. However, when one is near an airport, one suffers the grave risk of being taken by the next airport expansion.
