MILAN — Berlin Airport Authority members on June 29 decided to pursue leasing land at Berlin Regional Airport to the New Hampshire National Guard rather than selling the land outright.

The authority voted last August to donate up to 5 acres of land at the airport, located at 800 East Side River Road in Milan, to the N.H. National Guard to build a hangar and bunkhouse. The airport, owned by the city of Berlin and classified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a general aviation facility, is about 8 miles from downtown Berlin and has a single 5,200-foot runway.
