It can be done if the leadership of Lincoln, Concord, Lexington and Bedford unite, with our State Reps and Senators + Minuteman National Historical Park.

But, it will take recognition of the threat and quick action. In the meantime, citizens coming together, urging leadership in, are critical to this effort.
It is critical to underscore that this is NOT about the Base, but simply about the expansion of the civilian airport to increase capacity for private jets.
