Tenuous peace between TEB users, neighbors

A November 27 town meeting about the effect of voluntary operational restrictions at Teterboro Airport raised questions about how long the cooperative spirit would last between the airport’s neighbors and users.

In October the Teterboro Airport Working Group, which represents the airport’s tenants and users, and the local residents, represented by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J), seemed for the first time to be working together in a constructive manner to address the issues of safety, noise and pollution that have plagued the airport and its neighbors. The two groups announced that month that airport users had agreed to voluntary operational measures that would alleviate the neighbors’ concerns.
