The tenant plans on forming a condominium association for the new hangars being built. The M.G.L. requires that all leases for condominiums be at least 60 years. A Town Meeting vote is required for any airport lease over 20 years. The Town voted to extend the lease to 60 years at the Fall Special Town Meeting. Then why do we need to vote again?

The condominium master lease cannot be completed until the hangars are near completion which will be sometime this summer. A yes vote on this article would authorize the Airport Commission to cancel the existing lease and sign a new lease to coincide with the date of the condominium master lease.
