A New Jersey appeals court has upheld an earlier ruling that struck down the town of Readington’s attempt to condemn Solberg-Hunterdon Airport, dealing a major victory to the airport’s owners after a protracted legal battle that has dragged on for well over a decade.
New Jersey’s Solberg Airport Wins Major Legal Battle in Fight Against Town
Key Takeaways:
- A New Jersey appeals court upheld a ruling against Readington's attempt to condemn Solberg-Hunterdon Airport, marking a significant victory for the airport owners after a decade-long legal battle.
- The dispute originated from the airport owners' desire to expand the runway to allow jet traffic, which the town opposed and sought to prevent through eminent domain.
- While the town has largely lost, the court urged a settlement but noted that a new, more limited condemnation lawsuit could be filed if it doesn't interfere with the airport's aviation activities and buffer area.
