Hillsboro City Council Faces Appeals Over Private Jet Facility Approval
The Hillsboro City Council's decision to approve a private jet facility at Hillsboro Airport has sparked significant opposition from local groups. Oregon Aviation Watch and Oregon Air have filed appeals against the approval, citing concerns over noise and air pollution that could affect nearby residents, wildlife, and the Brookwood Library. The groups argue that the approval parameters were too narrow and that the city failed to conduct necessary air quality and noise assessments. The appeals will be heard at a public hearing on August 18. Both groups are seeking donations to cover legal costs and have initiated petitions to garner public support.
