Tuesday’s presentation will describe the current status of Hanscom Field’s airport facilities, flight activity, air noise levels and emissions. Further, the ESPR will examine the impacts on surrounding communities’ traffic flow and patterns, as well as on local natural, historical and cultural resources.
Massport will also project future development and its effect on nearby communities through the year 2035.
Tomorrow’s public meeting will summarize the key findings of the environmental report, and officials from the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) Office, a division of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs have been invited.
Town officials and residents are encouraged to attend, and offer comments directly to the State officials in charge of reviewing and certifying the Environmental Report.
