Nassau town supervisors threaten legal action against the FAA in effort to reduce jet engine noise over residential neighborhoods
Supervisors from Hempstead and North Hempstead announced a petition calling on the FAA to conduct a mandatory environmental review of noise and air pollution along a flight path that runs through both towns. It's something they say is nearly a decade overdue. The noises caused by planes flying only a few thousand feet above residential neighborhoods like Floral Park shakes homes and even wakes up residents.
