Ways to take action and get involved!

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. In fact, it's the only thing that ever has."  Margaret Mead, cultural anthropologist.

Please write an UPDATED (FEB2025) letter today to the Airport Commissioners, Town of Plymouth Selectboard and Town Manager, Town of Carver Selectboard and Town Administrator, MA Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, your US Representative, State Senator and State Representative (updated adding Plymouth Selectmen email and Representative Michelle L. Badger - Massachusetts Legislature).

Even if you sent one before, please take a minute to send again as new language has been added. Please share this website with your family, friends and neighbors.

Join our movement to bring Plymouth Airport back to the recreational /Emergency/Safety Services Airport it is supposed to be. Together, let's say NO to extending the runway to accommodate the Falcon 2000, and JETS of similar size that have appeared over the last few years, bringing noise and air pollution, threatening our water supply, real estate values and ruining our quality of life!

Please notify the Plymouth Airport directly of your noise complaints or concerns.

Phone: (508) 746-2020 Email: mcardillo@plymouth-ma.gov

The Airport Commission wants to hear from more of us if you are impacted, upset, disturbed by the noise from the loud, low flying planes, the repetition of training school circling over the same areas, the jets ignoring the noise abatement policy, the JETS period! As many times that you are impacted, if you don’t let the airport know every time, they don’t know you are impacted.

If you do not let the airport and the town officials know you do not want more issues with an expansion, the expansion will happen.

Plymouth Airport Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meets on the 4th Thursday of every month (@ 6pm) Conference Room at the airport, 246 South Meadow Road, Plymouth, MA 02360. Public Comment has been moved up to the first item on the agenda going forward, so please come or Zoom-in right at 6pm and express your concerns.

In person or Zoom. We will add the zoom link as it becomes available. These meetings are your opportunity to make your voices heard. TBD Zoom Link 6/26/2025 CAC Agenda - TBD

Your voices were heard in the May 17th election! We welcome Bill Keohan and Deb Iaquinto to the Plymouth Selectboard! The time for change has come.

We have received some helpful recommendations for how to get residents involved; Social media is very influential.  Post your concerns on All Things Plymouth.  If you don't have a Facebook page, you should get one.  Ask to present to the West Plymouth Steering Committee.  Make public comments at select board meetings.  Do the same at Planning Board meetings.  Ask to meet with the town manager.  Every time there is a meeting, make sure you have a sign-up sheet to ask for emails. Walk around the affected neighborhoods and go door to door to give residents information about airport meetings.

Are your Precinct Town Meeting Members sympathetic with your cause?  Urge them to attend the airport meetings.

Anything you can do to help us would be greatly appreciated. Please contact us if you can help in any manner.

Virtual Roundtable for communities fighting airport expansions

We joined Katie and Lilly on the SPJE Team’s virtual Roundtable for communities in the region fighting airport expansions on Wed, Feb 5th. In this meeting we learned about crowdsourcing information, learned how our campaigns may overlap and where they may diverge and that each community's fight is part of a larger trend based on the aviation industry’s plan for continued, indefinite growth. Communities all over the country are fighting the same issues we are with the Plymouth Municipal Airport. Let’s continue to learn how we can strengthen our efforts and best support each other.

Recommended articles from the SPJE Team:

Plymouth/Carver Neighbors Selections were made on 2/3/2025 by the Select board for the Plymouth Airport Community Advisory Committee (CAC). Unfortunately only one neighbor surrounding the airport who stated they were against the airport expansion was selected. No women were chosen. No other residents right next to the airport that expressed their concerns about the expansion were selected.

3 of 4 Carver representatives stated they were for/fine with the airport expansion. The Carver selectmen didn’t even vet them. They just accepted applications and sent them to Plymouth select board. Gladly, one Carver rep Travis Ouellette did not have an opinion.

7 of the 8 Plymouth residents chosen have aviation backgrounds or work/worked at an airport and support the expansion either vaguely or specifically. Even the grandson of the Airport Commissioner was selected. No residents are being represented in the Matthew’s Trail neighborhood right under runway 6/24. The Plymouth Select Board totally disappointed us voting contrary to their stated intent for this committee. They said they wanted an even and fair committee, representing the residents with concerns and those without, then they eliminated the very neighbors under the runway path most greatly impacted. We thought they wanted both sides represented. Actions speak louder than words.

You can watch the meeting live on The Local Seen website at https://thelocalseen.media/plymouth/ .

See for yourself.
