The airport has been the source of numerous noise complaints from local residents and has been the subject of numerous safety concerns.

Leaded avgas disproportionately impacts low-income and minority communities, which are more likely to be found in close proximity to airports.
It cannot be left to individual airports to transition away from leaded avgas--there must be a nationwide mandate as soon as possible.
I know the Secretary of Transportation, the Honorable Pete Buttigieg, shares these views.
Aircraft noise is a pain that plagues many Americans and is not only a nuisance but as a health risk.
I would also like to take this opportunity to advocate for inclusion of language in the upcoming FAA Reauthorization that would assist with the closure of RHV.
Failing to end the use of leaded avgas sends the message that the health and safety of these communities is not a priority.
Safety has and always will be the priority when viewing any transportation industry.
I have Cities like Brockton, Massachusetts, we have a great mayor there, who is doing a wonderful job, and they are really going in the right direction.
