Hi Lincoln Talk, Many Lincoln residents have posted about the proposed massive expansion at Hanscom Field, the site for commercial flights. More information is here <https://saveourheritage.com/news_2023_massive_jet_development.htm>
Mothers Out Front Lincoln *opposes* the expansion. We are showing up at the public Zoom tonight (February 6) at 6:30 PM. We encourage anyone else who is concerned or wants to learn more to show up, too. The Zoom Link is *HERE* <https://vhb.zoom.us/j/84330574548?pwd=eThiOXY3a05YQWRzcGphKzZ0aFpYZz09>. Mothers Out Front Lincoln is also submitting a Public Comment, which is *attached to this email*. The more names on it, the greater our impact. Please consider reading the attached comment and adding your name and address before we send our Public Comment - you don't need to be part of Mothers Out Front to sign. I plan to read our Public Comment over Zoom tonight. To add your name and address, please fill out the Google Form *HERE* <https://forms.gle/89cGhy9E9zsut6229> by* February 12 *to ensure we have time to submit the comment by the deadline. I am concerned about the project because I think it goes against what Mothers Out Front stands for: (1) it would increase fossil fuel emissions, (2) it would increase potential for water contamination (for which Hanscom has a poor record), (3) it would develop open land, destroying ecosystem benefits, and (4) it would pose an extra burden on environmental justice communities. The benefits go mainly to private companies and wealthy individuals, not the surrounding communities of Lincoln, Bedford, Lexington, and Concord. *Save Our Heritage has a lot of great information about the proposal HERE <https://saveourheritage.com/FSOH-NorthAirfieldDev-Alert-final_1-31-23.pdf>.* *The Lincoln Squirrel also has information HERE <https://lincolnsquirrel.com/2023/02/developers-propose-big-expansion-at-hanscom-field/>. * Thank you, Rachel Neurath (she/her) Co-Leader of Lincoln Common Ground <http://www.lincolncommonground.com>of Mothers Out Front Lincoln
