Keep the East Hampton airport open
The Pilot community has watched for years as the Town Board has neglected the airport. It is time to prove to us that you are not trying to close the airport. Trim the trees to restore the instrument approaches to their original design. Repave runway 04-22 for the GA community. Finish the parallel taxiway as described in the approved airport master plan. Install the new AWOS.
Why is this important?
The town board has begun a costly legal battle with the helicopter community and most of the wealthy homeowners in East Hampton. They believe they can use airport funds to fund the battle. These funds are meant for airport maintenance, not to fund the defense of flawed noise data.
