In honor of the second anniversary of the launch of the Teterboro Airport Working Group’s “Pledge to the Community” program–which has as its mission improving the airport’s relations with its neighbors– aviation industry representatives, New Jersey politicians and representatives of the airport’s governing agency, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, met to take stock of the program’s efficacy.

“Significant progress has been made since 2006 but there is still much more work to be done,” said Rep. Steve Rothman (D-N.J.), one of the brokers of the agreement. His district includes the airport and surrounding neighborhoods. “Teterboro Airport has been a noisy and somewhat bothersome neighbor for decades, but it is also a neighbor that employs 1,137 people, creates 15,554 other jobs and generates $1.8 billion in annual economic activity in the region.”
