The November 2 reelection of East Hampton, New York town supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc after the September 25 expiration of FAA grant assurance restrictions at East Hampton Airport (KHTO) virtually guarantees that local airport traffic will be significantly restricted over the coming months.

Lifting of federal grant restrictions means the town can do virtually whatever it pleases with regard to airport closure or reduced operations.
