Karen Martin, East Haven candidate for State Representative District 99, has commented on the recently announced Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and legislative framework for the potential development of a new East Terminal at Tweed New Haven Airport. The framework offers a structured, deliberate path forward with important protections for East Haven, including stronger local control, clearly defined traffic limitations, environmental safeguards, and meaningful investments in public safety and infrastructure. Martin also acknowledged skepticism about the proposal, stating that any proposal must undergo independent review by the Planning and Zoning Commission and meet all local, state, and federal requirements.
