The Forest Fire Department said that two occupants in a plane that crashed at the New London Airport Wednesday evening are uninjured.

BEDFORD COUNTY Va. – The battle over a New London Airport extension is still up in the air. Liberty University and Bedford County met in court on Feb. 3. The university owns the airport and has been fighting for years to turn the area from an agricultural to a commercial zone. “Today’s issue was really about whether the board of supervisors is required to file something, and if they are, what kind of thing are they required to file,” said Andrew McRoberts, who represents Bedford County. “It’s an appeal of the BZA decision, and at this point the judge is required by statute to review the decision of the BZA and search it for error,” said McRoberts.

LYNCHBURG, Va. - Changes could be coming to Bedford County's airports. County leaders are currently looking to rezone the New London and Smith Mountain Lake airports into airport districts. It's an issue county leaders say they needed to fix after Liberty University requested to rezone its New London Airport. County leaders say Liberty put their rezoning application on hold to speak with nearby residents. Lisa Hawkins, a neighbor against the rezoning, tells 10 News she has concerns about the county rezoning the airports and believes county leaders aren't giving the process its due diligence.
