II.                LOGAN AIRPORT PEAK PERIOD PRICING UPDATE

 

Provincetown elected officials, Town Manager, Airport Commission Member, Airport Manager, State elected officials, Business representatives, Chamber of Commerce representatives and Private sector representatives all attended the MASSPORT Public Hearing for Logan Airport Peak Period Pricing on October 19, 2004 in Hyannis. Almost all of the people in attendance were there to bring to MASSPORT’S attention that the proposed Special Circumstances Exemptions Status would not work for Provincetown the way it is currently written. It would be to close to the summer season before Provincetown would receive word on if an exemption was granted and that would not leave enough time for businesses to react accordingly. All parties requested that the exemption status be granted to Provincetown up front when the final document is written.

The MASSPORT representatives received all the information and will bring it back to the MASSPORT officials. No decisions were made at the hearing.
