The blue line of this chart represents the area currently subjected to 65 or more decibels of airplane noise from Tweed. The purple line represents the area that is projected to experience 65 or more decibels of noise by 2040 under the expansion plan.
Noise consultant Kate Larson at Wednesday night’s virtual community meeting.
Here’s the plan: The pandemic lifts. Air traffic comes roaring back. New Haven’s airport reaps the benefits with a longer runway.
Neighbors heard the plan and asked: Will that wreck the environment? Did the pandemic wreck the industry? And what about the noise at Wendy Guglietti’s house?

East Haven-bound?
Move the airport terminal across the border into East Haven. Extend the main runway by 1,035 feet to allow for longer-distance flights.
Both of those proposals are included in Tweed-New Haven Airport’s new master plan, which is slated to be submitted to federal regulators later this month.

Career Regional High staff arrived an hour and a half before the school’s drive-by commencement exercises at Lighthouse Point Park Wednesday morning. They put up purple and yellow balloons (the school colors). Using grant money, they had also hired a photographer so each senior could receive an 8‑by-10 photo in the mail.
As each of the 145 graduating seniors stepped off stage, they were handed a single, yellow rose.
“We wanted to make this day special since it’s not the traditional graduation ceremony,” said Principal Zakia Parrish. “We wanted to make sure the students know we appreciate them and wanted to celebrate them. There were also seniors who participated in the planning. We wanted to make sure they got the send-off they deserve.”
