BWI Marshall Airport neighbors in Glen Burnie to receive $4 million in federal funds to mitigate airplane noise

Through the DC Metroplex BWI Community Roundtable, which acts as a liaison between communities and the FAA, residents have pushed for changes that would address noise pollution. A bill the group supported that would have created a commission to study the airport’s health impacts failed in the General Assembly this spring. BWI Roundtable member and former chair Mary Reese was pleased about the newly announced mitigation funds but said the majority of Maryland residents who have raised concerns about BWI flight noise live farther from the airport itself.
