The Boeing tract (Tract R-14) was originally acquired with Federal Aid to Airports Program (FAAP) grant funds in 1965 to establish the new airport. The FAA determined that the land swap requested at Huntsville International Airport (HSV) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration, and the request will benefit HSV by allowing the airport to acquire parcels located along the south side of the existing Taxiway L (Lima) that is better suited for aeronautical development and by ensuring permanent access to the Air Traffic Control Tower area. This request does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this notice. The property is located north of Boeing Blvd. SW, south of Taxiway L (Lima) and between the main runways at HSV. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i), the airport will receive fair market value for the property, and the net proceeds from the sale of this property will be used for maintenance and improvements at Huntsville International Airport (HSV).
Any person may inspect the request in person at the FAA office listed above under *FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT* .
In addition, any person may, upon request, inspect the request, notice and other documents germane to the request in person at the Huntsville International Airport (HSV).
