BEDFORD â Liberty University s efforts to expand the New London Airport onto adjacent properties hit a snag Wednesday.
LU had filed a motion asking a Bedford circuit judge to strike a September 2019 decision by the county zoning appeals board. That board s decision was to deny LU s request to rezone more than 460 acres of property around the airport, which would allow the university-owned airport to expand.Â
But on Wednesday, a judge denied LU s motion.
LU purchased the New London Airport in 2015 for $1.8 million. It owns a total of about 467 acres of surrounding property.
In 2019, Liberty submitted a request to rezone the surrounding property to allow development of a general aviation facility for the Liberty University School of Aeronautics. The proposal included a three-phase development process that would include relocation of a runway and construction of additional structures.
