East Hampton Villagers Weigh in on the Airport

In a survey conducted by East Hampton Village in October, village residents who responded were overwhelmingly against permanently closing the East Hampton airport, a town property, but most respondents who want it open favor limitations on noise and landing times. And some who want it closed still want it open for emergency use or could tolerate it with no helicopter traffic. In fact, only roughly a third of respondents wanted “no limits” on the airport.
