West Deer, Pennsylvania: Rock Airport (9G1) closes temporarily

Rock Airport in West Deer will be closed for about a month as a change of ownership is finalized.

Alaskan Property Management on Tuesday closed on its purchase of Rock Airport and Business Park in West Deer.

The company is a subsidiary of Management Science Associates, a data management firm based at Rockpoint Business Park.

Alaskan bought the 268-acre parcel for $9 million, which goes to pay creditors, back taxes, attorney fees and other claims.

Former airport manager Rock Ferrone has appealed the sale and tried last week to have it postponed while his appeal proceeds. Bankruptcy Court Judge Carlota Bohm denied the request.

Once the sale was final, Alaskan closed the airport.

It will be closed for about 30 days while it transitions from the previous ownership to the entity the company contracts with to run the airport.

The Federal Aviation Administration Tuesday issued a notice to pilots alerting them of the airport shutdown.
