Important Update!

The developers have filed their DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) with MEPA (Office of the MA Environmental Policy Act) on March 15^th, as expected.

On March 22^nd , the DEIR will be posted publicly on the MEPA website.  We’ll let you know.

A 6-week Public Comment period will begin on March 22^nd and end on May 10^th. 

Look for our Toolkit in your email once MEPA posts the DEIR – it will contain everything you’ll need to help you make a public comment.

THIS is one of those moments where numbers matter!

The Governor will be watching.

Our State Legislators will be watching

Our Congressional leaders will be watching.

Why? To assess the breadth of public opposition to the proposed private jet hangar expansion.

Last year, over 350 public comments were submitted on the developers’ first report (ENF) – and EEA Secretary Tepper took notice in her DEIR Scope.

Let’s double that number this time around!

Between now and March 22^nd –

Hear Senator Mike Barrett’s denouncement of Massport at the March 4^th developers’ public meeting. Excerpt:

“I know the destruction you folks intend to wreak on Massachusetts and I resent it…And please don't erect these bogus environmental rationales for something that has nothing whatsoever to do with relieving the crisis that faces us in terms of climate. Just be honest about it. This is all about becoming a little richer yourselves by helping people even richer than you.”
