Sale of Land to Government Strikes Snag
The city faces a snag in selling 160 acres east of Davis-Monthan Field to the federal government. The council had approved 86 400 but imposed an airport use restriction. The government objects and may condemn under a declaration of taking. The city weighs actions at tonight’s meeting while rental terms for the modification center and Municipal Airport No. 2 are under review. A council quorum is expected as most members have returned from duties elsewhere.
