NBC10 Boston: Historic sites in Concord are among most endangered in US, preservation group says
NBC10 Boston: “‘Advocates are concerned that the proposed development could lead to increased noise disruption in an area that is already impacted by noise from jet traffic, often interrupting park programming. Advocates also cite the potential for increased vehicular traffic and negative environmental and climate impacts of private jets,’ according to the list.
Actor and activist Ashley Judd took part in a news conference Wednesday discussing the opposition to the airport's expansion.
"I have learned we can pretend to care, we cannot pretend to show up," Judd said. "And you have indeed shown up."
The National Trust for Historic Preservation noted that it has placed the groups of sites on their annual list of endangered historic sites before, in 2003, for a previous proposed expansion of the airfield.
As expansion plans rebooted, opposition to the airport's expansion has grown. Ahead of Earth Day last month, 20 people were arrested protesting at the air field as part of an action from climate activist group Extinction Rebellion that aimed to stop planes from taking off.”
