Boulder filed a federal lawsuit in opposition to the Federal Aviation Management over problems surrounding town’s plans to most likely shut Boulder Municipal Airport.
In a courtroom submitting Friday, lawyers for Boulder wrote that town is thinking about redeveloping the airport amid a scarcity of inexpensive housing and rising considerations round noise and environmental affects from the airport.
They famous that, whilst town has in the past permitted FAA grant investment for airport upkeep, every grant settlement Boulder accepts obligates town to stay the airport open for a most of 20 extra years. So, town has stopped accepting grants so it might lawfully shut the airport after 2040, when the present contract expires.
