ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Bronson administration is applauding a Federal Aviation Administration decision to allow construction of a new air cargo facility on the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport’s south side.
The FAA gave the air cargo terminal project’s environmental assessment a finding of “no significant impact,” but concerns among neighbors remain high. The mayor points to this as an economic win and said the construction will be able to help accommodate more air cargo traffic since the airport is already the third busiest air-cargo airport in the world.
Bronson emphasized he’s happy that NorthLink Aviation worked with local neighborhoods to obtain insight on the project, but those living near the proposed site have major concerns and unanswered questions.Matt Sanders, a Sand Lake resident with the nonprofit Alaskans for Ethical Development, said many are worried about increased noise, air, and light pollution, amid concerns about well water quality as well.
