Cape May County Commissioner Will Morey is questioning if the county had tried hard enough to work out a deal with the the Delaware River and Bay Authority, which has operated the airport for more than 25 years.
The Press of Atlantic City reports in June, the county let the DRBA know it would not automatically renew its 30-year lease on the property, an expansive site off Breakwater Road in Lower Township. Morey had questions about a resolution authorizing the county to seek proposals for a new operator at the airport, with the needed approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration. The resolution was part of the consent agenda, in which the board can approve multiple routine matters in a single vote.
