A Clarification

The East Hampton Town Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2005, does not call for an end to commercial flights at the East Hampton Airport, as stated in a story that appeared last week.

The authors of a letter asking for strict restrictions at the airport drew that conclusion from a 2002 document in which Lee Koppelman, a planner working on an early version of an update of the town’s comprehensive plan, characterized residents as believing that “scheduled commercial operations should be prohibited.”
