The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to allow the release and sale of a 5.27-acre piece of land at the Malden Regional Airport & Industrial Park in Missouri. This parcel, currently designated for airport use, would be sold for non-aviation purposes if approved. The sale is part of a request by the City of Malden to sell the land to Walter Spence for development. The FAA assures that selling this land will not affect future aviation operations at the airport, and the proceeds from the sale will be invested back into another airport improvement project.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to let a city sell a piece of airport land to someone for new uses, and the money from the sale will help improve the airport later. But people wonder if the land is being sold for the right price, how the new plan by the buyer might affect the community, and if all the promised checks are in place.
