Letter to the Editor on behalf of the Bedford Mothers Out Front, Bedford Citizen
“…we found Massport’s platinum-level sponsorship of an event that celebrates young people’s futures at odds with its plan to increase private jet travel that will pollute our air and destroy our green space.

Stay poised for Hanscom Developers’ SDEIR report
In June 2024, EEA Secretary Tepper rejected the Hanscom developers’ DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) after receiving over 1,500 public comments, 13,500 petition signatures, and an important independent analysis that refuted the developers’ claims. Tepper instructed the developers to go back to the drawing board to produce an SDEIR (Supplementary DEIR). The SDEIR has not yet been filed, but is now expected in the fall of 2026.
