Aviation Services, Inc., and the Town of Morristown, Plaintiffs-Respondents v. Board of Adjustment of the Township…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the Morristown Municipal Airport is exempt from Hanover Township's residential zoning ordinance because state statutes expressly authorize municipalities to acquire, construct, and operate airports within or without their limits, and the ordinance lacks language limiting that authority. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's summary‑judgment ruling.
