An Act Implementing the Recommendations of the Legislative Program Review and Investigations Committee Concerning Bradley International Airport.
Airports bring noise, traffic and other byproducts of growth.
These issues need to be dealt with directly and solutions should include the towns in which the airport is located. That being said, I believe the towns should have a representative on the Board of Directors so their concerns can get the attention they deserve, Rep. Ferrari said. Bradley is a very important part of the communities of East Granby, Suffield, Windsor and Windsor Locks and has been for many years. It is also an important economic asset to those communities, the region around them and to the state as a whole. All of us want to see it flourish, Rep. Ferrari said.
