LET'S STOP AIRPORT EXPANSION TOGETHER!
Solberg Airport is updating their Master Plan in a process that will lead to airport expansion.
Their goal is to create a regional jetport on their 740 acre tract,
in the middle of our community.
OUR LOVED ONES
Three schools and two major recreational parks in both towns are at or within a mile from the airport.
Countless homes, a historic village, and public parks are also within five miles (is yours?)
OUR HEALTH
Jets create significant air, water, and noise pollution, affecting our quality of life.
Yet, Solberg Airport stands to benefit from up to $40 million in Federal grants from this process...
OUR FINANCES
Research shows that flight noise decreases home property values.
There is no need for this expansion as General Aviation activity is half of what it was 20 years ago.
We are a group of concerned citizens from Branchburg and Readington, New Jersey.
The NJDOT needs to hear from you
It is the stated goal of the NJDOT to upgrade the service at “Priority General Service” airports (like Solberg) to “Advanced Service” airports (examples include Morristown and even Teterboro), as much as possible: “any airport included in the Priority General Service functional level [should] be developed to the fullest extent possible in efforts to comply with the Advanced Service functional level objectives.” (NJ State Airport System Plan, Executive Summary, NJDOT, Division of Multimodal Services, Bureau of Aeronautics, June, 2022)
