Dear Neighbors,

The MEPA public hearing for the Draft 2000 Hanscom ESPR
(Environmental document outlining Massport's various plans
for Hanscom Airport and their potential environmental
consequences) was recessed last week, because the room was
overcrowded. Some 700-800 concerned citizens showed up, and
the Bedford Fire Dept. felt the situation was unsafe.
Several of our neighbors attended.

The hearing has now been rescheduled for Tuesday, November
19th at 7:00 PM at the Bedford High School Auditorium, 9
Mudge Way, Bedford, MA 01730. The auditorium is large. The
hour was reset to 7 PM, because many people may want to
speak. Mudge Way is off Rte 4-225, a short distance beyond
Bread & Circus on the left, just before Bedford's main
street forks toward Concord.

It is extremely important that citizens concerned with the
growth of airport noise and traffic come again, because a
number of people may wish to comment and to listen to the
comments by others. Many of our public officials will
attend. In addition, a large crowd is political evidence
that our communities care.

Please urge your friends and neighbors to come, and invite
people from other neighboring towns that you may know to
come and support us as well.

The directors, BHNA secretary@belfryhill.org
