Public Discussion Kay Tiffany, Sue Cusack, Julian Bussgang and Andy Friedlich spoke of their concern about development at Hanscom. Mr. Fenn reviewed the goals the Board had adopted at its last meeting concerning Hanscom. He reassured those present that a meeting between HATS and HFAC will take place very shortly.
