needed for roadway improvements by the City of Buckeye. The Arizona

The sale price will be based on its appraised market value and the sale 
proceeds will be used for airport purposes by the State. The use of the

airfield property. The State will be properly compensated, thereby 
serving the interests of civil aviation.
