Ronald White, one of the Prudential Douglas Elliman listing agents holding the listing, said on Tuesday morning that while maintaining the current use would be ideal, the site offers the opportunity for residential development.

"I think common goal is to preserve the property being airport. The vast majority of people woud like to kept as an airport. But the other option is to subdivide it and to residentialize."

The property is zoned A-5, which permits single-family homes. Though he added that he only foresees three to six lots in the property, should someone ever decide to go that route.

White said in roughly the month the property has been on the market, a couple interested parties in the airport happen to be individuals who fly into and out of there.
