of the New Hanover County Airport and of occupants of land in its vicinity, and also,
if of the obstruction type, in effect reduces the size of the area available for landing,
taking off, and maneuvering of aircraft, thus tending to destroy or impair the utility
of the New Hanover County Airport and the public investment therein. Accordingly,
it is declared:

That the creation or establishment of an airport hazard is a public nuisance and an
injury to the region served by the New Hanover County Airport; and

That it is necessary in the interest of public health, public safety, and general
welfare that the creation or establishment of airport hazards be prevented.
It is further declared that both the prevention of the creation or establishment of
airport hazards and the elimination, removal, alteration, mitigation, or marking and
lighting of existing airport hazards are public purposes for which political subdivisions
may raise and expend public funds and acquire land or interest in land.
