Community members raised concerns about noise, pollution, and the disproportionate impact on nearby low-income and minority communities, while Port officials explained limitations on controlling flight schedules and discussed noise mitigation efforts. The meeting notes document questions and answers covering topics such as cargo forecasts, flight pattern changes, the airport's physical footprint, and the possibility of distributing air traffic among other regional airports.
