SANFORD, Fla. — Orlando-Sanford International Airport wants to buy land from more than a half dozen homeowners so it can expand its runway.
The airport just got a federal grant of more than $10 million to buy 33 acres of property around the airport. That comes to about $320,000 per acre.
One property owner told WFTV he's happy to accept the money because the airport already stopped any chance he had of selling his home to anyone else.
“Right now we are basically held prisoner until the airport moves forward to take our land,” said James McDonnell.
Other property owners said they don't plan on selling and will go to court if they have to.
The airport is trying to buy land from eight property owners.
