Allentown Queen City Municipal Airport (KXLL) is subject of tonight's 'Business Matters'. Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Queen City Airport's future is the topic of discussion during tonight's "Business Matters" program on WFMZ-TV.

Tony Iannelli
, host of the television show, poses the question of whether the Allentown airport should be sold for redevelopment. Guests who discuss the topic include Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski; Mike Rosenfeld of the Lehigh Valley General Aviation Association; Jay Goldstein, described in the news release as an "activist"; and Frank Kovacs of the Lehigh Valley International Airport.

The program airs at 8 o'clock.

Some Lehigh County officials have advocated the sale of the airport on the outskirts of the city along Route 78. It serves smaller planes and overflow air traffic and makes a profit of $50,000 to $80,000 a year.

Its location is prime for economic development, sale advocates say.

The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority has said it has no interest in selling any properties without consulting with a master planner.
It is reviewing bids from 15 planners to review how it can best use its resources.
