Dear Neighbors,

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Hanscom Field hearing
last week.  The meeting had a huge turnout, with over 800 people
attending, and the session lasted for over four hours.  We believe
that Massport has received a clear signal that the surrounding
towns are concerned about Hanscom expansion, and are able to 
mobilize accordingly. 

In case you missed the meeting, you can find the text of the
MEPA Environmental Status and Planning Report, and Massport's
overview on the ShhAir web site (http://www.shhair.org), and we
also provide links on our links page (http://www.belfryhill.org).

We encourage all of you to submit comments to the MEPA to voice
your concerns about this issue.  Written comments must be submitted
to this address: 
       Bob Durand, Secretary,
       Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, Attn: MEPA Office
       EOEA No. 5484/8696 (L.G.Hanscom Field ESPR), [MEPA Analyst: William Gage]
       251 Causeway St, Suite 900
       Boston MA 02114
You can also submit comments to the MEPA analyst by telephone 
(617-626-1025) or by email (bill.gage@state.ma.us). 
All commments must be submitted by 5pm THIS TUESDAY, NOV 26.

The directors, BHNA
