West Desert Airpark Won Its Business-License Appeal Of Town’s Decision West Desert Airpark in Utah won an appeal that reversed the town of Fairfield’s decision to deny its business-license renewal. Leaders in the small community of Fairfield in the Cedar Valley area had denied a business-license renewal for the airport. In a 13-page decision, a hearing officer says the town lacked legal justification to deny the license. Co-founder Mark Pringle said the 40-acre plot was bought before the town – which has fewer than 200 residents – was even incorporated in 2004. Years of growth followed, the airport went public in 2018 and Pringle says it filled a significant gap in service for general aviation.
