Board Will Set Airport Land Value
A six man condemnation board appointed by County Judge Robert A. Barlow will appraise a 480 acre tract south of town for a municipal airport. The group seeks an agreed figure near $60 per acre, with a meeting set for Sept. 9 in the judge’s office at 10 p.m. If a price is reached, a vote on general obligation bonds will follow. Nebraska communities may gain airports by securing sites and matching federal funds as a state plan unfolds.
