After years of neighbor opposition, a private airstrip for Beta’s CEO nears approval
Beta Technologies CEO Kyle Clark's private airstrip in Lincoln, Vermont, is nearing final approval after years of local opposition. The project, initially denied by town officials, shifted to state and federal channels, with the FAA recently denying an appeal and the Vermont Transportation Board now holding the final decision. Opponents argue safety concerns and lack of public input remain unaddressed.
