There will be a massive increase in noise, traffic, and pollution with no compensation or mitigation for our area. Any income will be outside of our area and yet we will have to bear the costs of increased road maintenance and noise. The airport has the opportunity to ban all night flights through increased daytime movement but this has not been offered. We are already subjected to unacceptable noise levels and the frequent smell of aviation fuel (I have no way of measuring true pollution but if a human can smell it it must exist). I am wholly against this unnecessary expansion which, on balance, will not benefit our community.
