Compare what the the Airport Commission is saying with the facts.

• Watch the Plymouth Select Board Meeting; 3/12/24. (Airport starting point 52:06)

• See how the Selectman’s questions were answered…(make note: of the 3 meetings held with the neighbors 2 1/2 years ago…the average attendance was 36 people. Does that represent the thousands of neighbors and surrounding areas?

• April 2024 - Town Meeting Members voted 117 NO to 26 to fund the Town % share of the expansion. And the airport continues to plan for the expansion.

• Watch the Plymouth Town Meeting Afternoon Session; 4/6/2024 (Article 9-A45 Starting point 2:01.42)

• Listen to your Town Meeting Members/neighbors concerns for the environment and the Airport committee’s lack of transparency and neighborhood involvement in the process

Who is responsible for this change over the last two years?

• New Manager Takes Flight At Plymouth Municipal Airport (July2022) By Bill O’Neill. In July he (Matt Cardillo) was named manager of the Plymouth Municipal Airport, replacing Thomas Maher who held that position for 27 years.

• “…Proposals include the possibility of extending one of the airport’s two runways, which would allow for an increase in the number of small charter jets….”

• 24 hour Fuel Kiosk was also proposed in the Master Plan Update 2022

• Landings, takeoffs and refueling 24/7

  Where is the transparency?

• Plymouth Municipal Airport is not following their own ‘Guiding Principles’.

• 1. Create a transparent track to encourage public involvement in the Master Planning process to ensure that airport Stakeholders have the opportunity to provide input on future development.

• Plymouth and Carver residents would like to know when, how and where was/is the public involvement?

• Where are the Airport Notifications to residents about the extension? Mailings?…signs around town?…calls?… any communication?

• What else is planned for the Plymouth Airport?

• 4.7.3 Fuel-Self-Serve

• Currently fuel is offered between 0600-2200 daily. Fuel is distributed via fuel trucks and these fuel trucks will likely continue to serve the flying public for a large percentage of fuel sales. However, PYM may be losing fuel sales that occur after hours, or by crew members who prefer to self-fuel, either for financial or operational reasons.

• A self-serve fuel kiosk could provide additional fuel revenue for the Airport.
