Governor's Staff Considers Alternatives to Aeroflex-Andover Airport Demolition
What happened
Senior advisers to Governor Mikie Sherrill met with AOPA on October 8 to discuss the future of Aeroflex-Andover Airport. The state plan, overseen by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, involves demolishing much of the airport’s hangar complex, leading to formal eviction notices for tenants by December 31. AOPA reported that the governor’s staff appeared receptive to discussing alternatives to the demolition proposal.
