What changed

The FAA is reviewing a request to release approximately 5.46 acres of airport property at Hesler Noble Airfield from aeronautical use requirements under 49 U.S.C. 47153(c). The property located on the northeast quadrant adjacent to Interstate 59 is currently leased to NES Laurel LLC, which will purchase the property at fair market value.
