Solberg-Hunterdon Airport to host public information session on master plan update Feb. 5

READINGTON TOWNSHIP, NJ (Hunterdon County) – Solberg-Hunterdon Airport (N51) will host a public information session on Wednesday, February 5, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Readington Middle School as part of the airport’s Master Planning Process.

The airport is in the process of updating its Airport Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan (ALP), which will help shape the future of the facility. The plan is being developed in accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines and is primarily funded by New Jersey State Department of Transportation grants. This public meeting will provide an opportunity for community members to learn about the Master Plan process and offer feedback on the project’s progress.

The airport’s previous Master Plan and ALP were completed in September 1997. In the 26 years since, significant changes have occurred at the airport, in the surrounding community, and within the aviation industry. As a result, the airport is undertaking this planning effort to ensure it can accommodate future demand while optimizing resources and maintaining its role as a responsible economic and environmental neighbor to Readington Township, Hunterdon County, and the broader Central New Jersey region.

Community participation is essential in shaping the future of the airport. We encourage local residents to attend and share their input during the meeting. Printed and digital comment forms will be available for feedback.

Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and seating will be limited. Information stations will be set up, allowing attendees to walk between stations to learn about the project’s progress and provide feedback.

In the event of school closures due to inclement weather, the meeting will be rescheduled for Tuesday, February 12, at the same time. Visit the Solberg-Hunterdon Airport website or its Facebook page for any updates regarding weather-related changes.
