  • The City of Boulder is Suing the FAA

    July 27, 2024

    On Friday, 07.26.24 City of Boulder filed a lawsuit against the FAA.  In it the City said it has “stopped accepting grants - and has elected to carry the considerable cost of operating the Airport on it’s own - in order that it may lawfully close the Airport when it’s most recent grant agreement expires in 2040.”   The City claims the FAA’s claim that the airport "must operate in perpetuity" is inconsistent with the grant agreements and a constitutional overreach.   The City asks the court to:

    • declare early grant agreements as expired, and the FAA has no continuing interest under them
    • declare the FAA's policy as unconstitutional
    • render the FAA's position as constitutionally invalid and violation of Due Process
