Leas: Burlington, beware, the F-35 can be very costly
by Opinion | October 9, 2012

The City of Burlington is owner of the Burlington International Airport in South Burlington.

The City of Burlington purchased over 120 houses near the airport in South Burlington for demolition. The city is continuing its purchase program to eventually acquire and demolish 200 homes. The cost for these purchases is expected to total about $40 million.

The zoning permits on file for these demolitions in South Burlington City Hall all state one — and only one — reason for the demolition: airport noise above the 65 dB DNL (day-night average).

unhappycamper comment: Those damn commies in Vermont....... Don't they know that there may be jobs that folks can do to support this massively expensive program? I also seem to recall that the DoD/Zoomies did not want to bring in an F-35 for noise measurements.

This has been going on for a while. Google: burlington+f-35
