I won't be impacted directly either way by this decision so this is not a case of NIMBY. My desire to stop this is based on this being a ridiculously stupid thing to do that is purely based on privilege of the wealthy. This money could be so much better spent on public transportation, for example, or mitigating the climate change damage we have already created. Please do not allow this to move forward.

There is no "need" for any of this expansion. I don't see the airlines parking their planes in hangars unless they are performing maintenance. The development and the noise are both problems, but the climate injustice of using a publicly owned resource (MassPort) to support the massive per person CO2 emissions of the wealthy is absurd.

Appalling development! Let's not enable more gratuitous private jet travel.

Dear Governor Healey, This is an important opportunity to cut back greenhouse gas emissions. Stopping this expansion for private luxury jets will have an immediate positive impact. Please use this opportunity to combat climate change. It is for the good of us all. Thank you.

There is NO public interest in expanding resources for private jets. Private Jets have NO economic driver to update jet engines to new more fuel efficient / lower carbon footprint.

Westford has enough plane activity going to Hanscom.It would be horrible if it were tripled in expansion

The plane noise really impacts our peace. Especially bad are what I think are the delivery planes that start early early. We prefer fresh air to conditioned air and they always break the peace

I used to live in Hartwell Farms. The noise of jets and private planes especially in spring and summer make sitting outside was impossible.

As you know, Governor Healy, this proposal is in opposition of very climate goal that must be achieved and surpassed. As this week's tragic events unfold in Canada and the air for much of the east coast of the US is unbreathable, a project such as this is a travesty and a disaster. Please consider the future of our Commonwealth, our country, and our planet--the only one we have.

Yes to ban on private jets everywhere! We don't want Massport to expand Bedford or Logan.
