State weighs 19-year rent-free FAA lease at Hooper Bay Airport
The Federal Aviation Administration could use state land at Hooper Bay Airport rent-free for 19 years to install and maintain navigation, communication and weather equipment, under a lease the Alaska Department of Transportation is weighing.
Annual rent is set at zero, and state law lets the department grant the lease without competitive bidding. The state-owned airport sits about a nautical mile southwest of Hooper Bay in the Kusilvak Census Area.
Rent-free arrangements like this aren't unusual at rural Alaska airports. The FAA has proposed similar no-cost deals at Chefornak, Allakaket, Kobuk, Beaver and Pilot Station.
