overview of the request:
The Airport Authority requests the release of a total of 0.8994
acres for sale required for Right-of-Way for the State Route 141
widening project, and 0.1725 acres for change in use for a Permanent
Easement. The purpose of the project is to address safety, operational,
capacity and condition needs within the State Route 141 and Interstate
95 interchange area. Specifically, State Route 141 is being widened to
accommodate three lanes of traffic in each direction near the New
Castle County Airport and the airport property is needed at the
intersection of Commons Boulevard and State Route 141. The project is
being coordinated by the Delaware Department of Transportation. There
are two parcels included in the proposed total 1.0719-acre land release
obtained from the United States pursuant to the Surplus Property Act of
1944 and the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1947. The existing property
use is that of

property is not needed now or in the future for airport development as

operation. Proceeds from sale of the property will be utilized in
accordance with FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of
Airport Revenue, published in the Federal Register on February 16,
