Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere

This is insane. We are trying to improve the environment not attack LT.

There ought to be an automatic rejection mechanism for this kind of flagrant environmental nose thumbing. A carbon neutral test for future expansionism ?

As someone who lives in Bedford, MA, in one of the landing paths of Hanscom Field, already I see many private jets landing at the airport. The Earth does not need any more hangar space at Hanscom for more private jets. Please ask Massport to stop the hangar expansion plans at Hanscom.

I can’t images a more lopsided value proposition than expansion of the private jet market - luxury travel for the top .1% vs. another nail in the coffin of the environment that must support all of us. If this isn’t one of the most critical opportunities for our elected officials to do their jobs and show leadership for their constituents, I don’t know what is.

This expansion is detrimental to the health and safety of our community. It should not be allowed to happen!!

Do not expand Hanscom!

No need for this type of travel in this time of need.

Do NOT want this here!

I live in Littleton. As a resident in the impacted circumference and a concerned citizen I am strongly against this expansion. It positively impacts too few people and negatively effects everyone else.

This development goes against every goal for carbon reduction that the state supports. You must stop it.

Let the rich take commercial flights like everyone else. Incredible waste of energy flying 1-4 people in a single plane.

The Hanscom Airport expansion privileges the private plane use of corporations and billionaires. Private plane travel is environmentally disastrous and I strongly urge you to oppose this project.

I live right under the flight path to Hanscom in Lexington, MA -- and the resulting noise and disturbance from the jets greatly affects the quality of life in this neighborhood. Further expansion should not be allowed since this would add an unreasonable burden on the residents here.

I also hadn't understood that private jets are exempt from sales tax; that is another lever that the governor could lean on to stop encouraging and subsidizing private jets.

This expansion conflicts with the drastic and unprecedented steps needed to reduce CO2 emissions.

Policy questions concerning climate can be complicated and thorny. This one seems straightforward: let's not leave the low-hanging fruit unharvested.

As we bring solar roofs to Lexington we need to stop the pollution private jets will bring to our community and the surrounding communities.

I have just entered my 80th year on this fragile planet. My children, grandchildren live here. My first great grandchild will soon reside here too. We can’t just hope. We must act NOW

I live near Lexington center, and the noise from private jets is almost continual.

Please take action on this important issue.
