Tweed-New Haven Airport to Host HVN Public Information Session on February 25
PLEASE NOTE: This meeting was originally scheduled for Tuesday, January 27 and was postponed due to weather. The rescheduled meeting information is below.
East Haven, CT — As part of an ongoing commitment to community engagement and providing clear, accessible information, Tweed–New Haven Airport (HVN) will host a Public Information Session on Wednesday, February 25 at 6:00 p.m. at East Haven High School. This meeting was rescheduled due to weather conditions that impacted the previously scheduled session.
The session will provide an overview of HVN’s proposed expansion project and the environmental review process administered by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The session is intended to help community members understand what to expect during the application process and how the public can meaningfully engage as the review moves forward. In addition to the HVN team, representatives from CT DEEP will participate in the session to explain the environmental review process and respond to questions related to this phase of review.
“Our responsibility is to provide accurate, straightforward information about how the environmental review works and what role the public plays,” said Michael Jones, CEO of The New HVN. “This session is an important first step in that process and part of our broader commitment to ongoing dialogue with the community.”
This session will focus exclusively on explaining the CT DEEP application process and opportunities for public participation. It will not address the merits of the application or specific concerns related to the project. Those topics will be covered in future public meetings as part of the broader review and engagement process.
“This community informational session is about making sure our neighbors clearly understand the process that governs this project and how important their attendance and participation are,” said Robert Reed, Chairman of the Tweed New Haven Airport Authority. “We believe transparency and accessibility are essential, particularly during formal environmental review, and this session is designed to explain what that process looks like and what comes next.”
This session is informational only and is not a required part of the CT DEEP permitting process. The meeting will include a Q&A segment to allow community members to ask questions and receive information. It is not a formal public hearing, and comments for or against the project will not be entered into the official record.
