Residents plagued for many years by helicopter noise could find relief from a decision in the hands of the East Hampton Town Board.
The expiration of the contract East Hampton has with its airport management expires on Sept. 20, 2021. By that time, it will be up to the East Hampton Town Board to either extend the contract for use of the town-owned site, allowing the airport to continue to operate, or refuse a renewal, in which case the airport would close.
