SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release 36.03 acres of airport property at the Strother
Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.
47107(h)(2). This is a Surplus Property Airport. The Strother Field
Commission requested a release from the FAA to sell the land to the
Kansas Department of Transportation for the Highway 77 Realignment
Project. The FAA determined this request to release and sell property
at the Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) submitted by the
Sponsor meets the procedural requirements of the FAA and the release
and sale of the property does not and will not impact future aviation
needs at the airport. The request to release the National Emergency Use
Provision (NEUP) on the 36.03 acres is pending approval by the
Department of War. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in
part, no sooner than thirty days after the publication of this notice.
The following is a brief overview of the request:
The Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD) is proposing the
release and sale of 36.03 acres of airport property. The release of
land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation Administration Grant
Assurances that do not allow federally conveyed airport property to be
used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the subject property will
result in the land at the Strother Field Airport-Industrial Park (WLD)
being changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the
lands from the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant
Agreement Grant Assurances in order to sell the land. In accordance
with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and (iii), the airport will receive
fair market value for the property, and the proceeds of the sale will
be used to retire airport bonds.
Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may request an appointment to inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Strother Field Airport.
Issued in Kansas City, MO, on March 31, 2026.
Rodney N. Joel,
Director, FAA Central Region, Airports Division.
