• Sky Harbour withdraws Hillsboro Airport hangar proposal, plans to resubmit (forestgrovenewstimes.com) — Sky Harbour has withdrawn its proposal for seven private jet hangars at Hillsboro Airport, ending the current land use review and two resident appeals, but plans to resubmit a revised application. The move pauses a contentious debate over noise, pollution, and airport growth while giving Hillsboro officials room to consider broader code changes that could shape future airport development and neighborhood impacts. 
• Leaded Aviation Gas Drives Up Lead Levels Near Regional Airports, Raising Health Concerns, New Study Finds (morningagclips.com) — Neighbors living near the Hillsboro Airport face significantly higher lead levels in the environment, according to a new Oregon State and Portland State study using tree moss samples. Researchers found aviation fuel is the dominant source, with contamination detectable up to three-quarters of a mile from runways, and they urge Hillsboro-area parents to consider lead testing and simple steps to reduce exposure at home.
