Stay poised for Hanscom Developers’ SDEIR report -
expected to be filed in September or October.
Last June, EEA Secretary Tepper rejected the Hanscom developers’ DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) after receiving over 1,500 public comments, 13,500 petition signatures, and an important independent analysis that refuted the developers’ claims. Tepper instructed the developers to go back to the drawing board to produce an SDEIR (Supplementary DEIR). The SDEIR is expected to be filed in September or October. Massport is scheduling public presentations for May. Visit this home page frequently to stay up to date and we’ll keep you posted.
