County: No Automatic Renewal of DRBA Airport Lease

By Christopher South

The Delaware River and Bay Authority is the operator of the Cape May County Airport, but the county owns the land. The county has given the DRBA five year’s notice, as required by the lease, that it will not automatically renew for another 30 years.

CREST HAVEN – The Board of County Commissioners has passed a resolution to prevent the automatic renewal of a 30-year lease on the Cape May County Airport property held by the Delaware River and Bay Authority and return the approximately 1,000-acre site to county control.

The resolution, which passed 3-1 at an emergency commissioners meeting on June 6, serves as notice to the DRBA of nonrenewal of the lease, which otherwise would automatically be renewed when it expires in 2029.
