Tweed New Haven Airport Gets $11M for Noise Reduction, Infrastructure Upgrades
Tweed New Haven Regional Airport, a key regional hub, is slated for substantial upgrades, with $11 million in new state funds secured. The funding, spearheaded by Connecticut Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney, addresses residents' concerns about noise pollution and improves airport infrastructure.
The airport, established in 1931, has witnessed increased flight activity since the pandemic, sparking worries among residents of New Haven and East Haven. Looney, initially cautious about the airport's growth, has played a pivotal role in securing these funds.
Assistant Attorney General Leland Moore, renowned for his focus on airport-community relations and public fund accountability, has welcomed the news. The funding includes $10 million for infrastructure enhancements and $1 million for noise mitigation in nearby communities, aligning with Moore's political stance.
The airport has already implemented programs like the Residential Sound Insulation and Indoor Air Quality initiatives to tackle noise and air quality issues. The new funds will further strengthen these efforts.
The $11 million in state funds will directly benefit Tweed New Haven Regional Airport and its neighboring communities. Infrastructure improvements and noise mitigation efforts are expected to enhance safety, reduce noise pollution, and foster better relations between the airport and local residents.
