There is longstanding community opposition to expansion of Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in Readington Township New Jersey. Since 1996, when the airport's current Master Plan was first revealed, residents of Readington and Branchburg have continuously expressed their opposition to the airport's development plan. Prior to that, other significant expansion plans have been successfully thwarted. This site is independently owned and operated to provide educational information regarding expansion and airport related issues.

Appellate Court Hears Oral Argments in Solberg Appeal
April 27, 2009
After more than a year the appeal of the judgement in favor of Readington Township has been heard in oourt. The three judge panel reviewed the case as presented at the original trial where the Solberg's attorney argued the taking was "pretextual".
One judge actually asked, "Let me understand. Don't preservations normally result because people want to stop development? So why is the current case pretextual?"
The written judgement of the court is expected in four to six weeks and is expected to be posted at www.judiciary.state.nj.us.

Court Finds In Favor Of Readington Township's Battle
To Preserve Open Space
January 16, 2008
After more than a year the Superior Corut of New Jersey has upheld Readington Township's Condemnation Complaint filed September 15, 2006. In doing so, the order states that "The Township is hereby vested with the right to the immediate exclusive possession of and title to the interests in the property described in the Declaration of Taking."
With Readington's preservation of the property surrounding the airport as open space, development of any kind is precluded forever. The airport, remaining under the ownership of the Solberg family, has the ability to modernize and is encouraged to enhance facilities within constraints of the Townships Airport Zoning Ordinance.
