Court trims SilverWing lawsuit

SANDPOINT — A U.S. District Court judge on Friday clipped three-fourths of SilverWing at Sandpoint’s lawsuit against Bonner County.

SilverWing began developing the fly-in housing development on 18 acres on the west side of Sandpoint Airport in 2006. Dwellings would be part aircraft hangar part home and residents would have through-the-fence access to the airport.

Since then, project developers proceeded to spend $6.1 million installing infrastructure, including a west-side taxiway. A demonstration hangar home was also constructed.
