FAA allows local jurisdiction for business park
Rosenbaum voted in again as chair of the airport commission.
Airport commissioner Geoff Wheeler announced to the Martha’s Vineyard Airport Commission Thursday afternoon that after nine months, the Federal Aviation Administration decided it would permit the commission to set rates for business park leases through a custom formula geared to be less burdensome to the tenants than fair market value. Wheeler said he doesn’t know of anywhere else the FAA has made such a concession, other than on Nantucket.
“I think that’s why they sent this thing down to Washington and they sat on it for a few months, trying to figure out what to do,” Wheeler said.
