The Colonie Town Board approved the sale of the 64 Wade Road parcel to the Albany County Airport Authority for $135,000, following an FAA directive for the authority to acquire the property to expand the Runway Protection Zone for Runway 28.
Approximately 70% of the 64 Wade Road site, or 3.6 acres, consists of federal and state wetlands, and the airport already owns the adjacent 40 Wade Road and 70 Wade Road parcels; a public hearing on the sale drew no complaints, and passenger traffic at Albany International Airport has risen, with 2025 recorded as the busiest year, highlighted by a Southwest Airlines jet landing in May and heightened runway safety interest after a cargo plane crash at Miami International Airport.
